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

Initialize an authenticated Evernote client. Use a Developer Token for sandbox or an OAuth access token for production.

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

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

Step 2: Understand ENML Format

Evernote uses ENML (Evernote Markup Language), a restricted XHTML subset. Every note must include the XML declaration, DOCTYPE, and <en-note> root element. Forbidden elements include <script>, <form>, <iframe>. Only inline styles are allowed (no class or id attributes).

<?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>Content goes here</p>
