Evernote Hello World

Overview

Create your first Evernote note using the Cloud API, demonstrating ENML format and NoteStore operations.

Prerequisites

Completed evernote-install-auth setup
Valid access token (OAuth or Developer Token for sandbox)
Development environment ready

Instructions

Step 1: Create Entry File

// hello-evernote.js
const Evernote = require('evernote');

// Initialize authenticated client
const client = new Evernote.Client({
  token: process.env.EVERNOTE_ACCESS_TOKEN,
  sandbox: true // Set to false for production
});

Step 2: Understand ENML Format

Evernote uses ENML (Evernote Markup Language), a restricted subset of XHTML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE en-note SYSTEM "http://xml.evernote.com/pub/enml2.dtd">
<en-note>
  <h1>Note Title</h1>
  <p>This is a paragraph.</p>
  <div>Content goes here</div>
</en-note>

Key ENML Rules:

Must include XML declaration and DOCTYPE
Root element is <en-note>, not <html> or <body>
All tags must be lowercase and properly closed
No <script>, <form>, <iframe>, or event handlers
Inline styles only (no class or id attributes)

Step 3: Create Your First Note

async function createHelloWorldNote() {
  const noteStore = client.getNoteStore();

  // Define ENML content (required format)
  const content = `<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE en-note SYSTEM "http://xml.evernote.com/pub/enml2.dtd">
<en-note>
  <h1>Hello from Claude Code!</h1>
  <p>This is my first note created via the Evernote API.</p>
  <p>Created at: ${new Date().toISOString()}</p>
  <hr/>
  <div style="color: #666;">
    <en-todo checked="false"/> Learn Evernote API basics<br/>
    <en-todo checked="true"/> Install SDK<br/>
    <en-todo checked="true"/> Configure authentication<br/>
  </div>
</en-note>`;

  // Create note object
  const note = new Evernote.Types.Note();
  note.title = 'Hello World - Evernote API';
  note.content = content;

  // Optional: specify notebook (uses default if not set)
  // note.notebookGuid = 'your-notebook-guid';

  try {
    const createdNote = await noteStore.createNote(note);
    console.log('Note created successfully!');
    console.log('Note GUID:', createdNote.guid);
    console.log('Note Title:', createdNote.title);
    console.log('Created:',  (createdNote.));
     createdNote;
  }  (error) {
    .(, error);
     error;
  }
}

();

Step 4: Python Version

from evernote.api.client import EvernoteClient
from evernote.edam.type.ttypes import Note
import os

# Initialize client
client = EvernoteClient(
    token=os.environ['EVERNOTE_ACCESS_TOKEN'],
    sandbox=True
)

note_store = client.get_note_store()

# Create note content in ENML format
content = '''<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE en-note SYSTEM "http://xml.evernote.com/pub/enml2.dtd">
<en-note>
  <h1>Hello from Python!</h1>
  <p>This note was created using the Evernote Python SDK.</p>
</en-note>'''

# Create and submit note
note = Note()
note.title = 'Hello World - Python'
note.content = content

created_note = note_store.createNote(note)
print(f'Note created: {created_note.guid}')

Step 5: List Notebooks

async function listNotebooks() {
  const noteStore = client.getNoteStore();

  const notebooks = await noteStore.listNotebooks();
  console.log('Your notebooks:');

  notebooks.forEach(notebook => {
    console.log(`- ${notebook.name} (${notebook.guid})`);
    if (notebook.defaultNotebook) {
      console.log('  ^ Default notebook');
    }
  });

  return notebooks;
}

Step 6: Retrieve a Note

async function getNote(noteGuid) {
  const noteStore = client.getNoteStore();

  // Options: withContent, withResourcesData, withResourcesRecognition, withResourcesAlternateData
  const note = await noteStore.getNote(noteGuid, true, false, false, false);

  console.log('Title:', note.title);
  console.log('Content:', note.content);
  console.log('Tags:', note.tagGuids);

  return note;
}

Complete Example

// complete-hello.js
const Evernote = require('evernote');

async function main() {
  const client = new Evernote.Client({
    token: process.env.EVERNOTE_ACCESS_TOKEN,
    sandbox: true
  });

  const noteStore = client.getNoteStore();
  const userStore = client.getUserStore();

  // 1. Get user info
  const user = await userStore.getUser();
  console.log(`Hello, ${user.username}!`);

  // 2. List notebooks
  const notebooks = await noteStore.listNotebooks();
  console.log(`You have ${notebooks.length} notebooks`);

  // 3. Create a note
  const content = `<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE en-note SYSTEM "http://xml.evernote.com/pub/enml2.dtd">
<en-note>
  <p>Hello, Evernote!</p>
</en-note>`;

  const note = new Evernote.Types.Note();
  note.title = 'My First API Note';
  note. = content;

   created =  noteStore.(note);
  .();

  
   fetched =  noteStore.(created., , , , );
  .();
}

().(.);

Output

Working code file with Evernote client initialization
Successfully created note in your Evernote account
Console output showing:

Hello, yourUsername!
You have 3 notebooks
Created note: 12345678-abcd-1234-efgh-123456789012
Note content retrieved successfully

Error Handling

Error	Cause	Solution
`EDAMUserException: BAD_DATA_FORMAT`	Invalid ENML content	Validate against ENML DTD
`EDAMNotFoundException`	Note or notebook not found	Check GUID is correct
`EDAMSystemException: RATE_LIMIT_REACHED`	Too many requests	Wait for `rateLimitDuration`
`Missing DOCTYPE`	ENML missing required header	Add XML declaration and DOCTYPE
