Evernote SDK for Python
Evernote API version 1.28
This SDK is intended for use with Python 2.X
For Evernote's beta Python 3 SDK see https://github.com/evernote/evernote-sdk-python3
Overview
This SDK contains wrapper code used to call the Evernote Cloud API from Python.
The SDK also contains a sample script. The code demonstrates the basic use of the SDK for single-user scripts. Real web applications must use OAuth to authenticate to the Evernote service.
Prerequisites
In order to use the code in this SDK, you need to obtain an API key from http://dev.evernote.com/documentation/cloud. You'll also find full API documentation on that page.
In order to run the sample code, you need a user account on the sandbox service where you will do your development. Sign up for an account at https://sandbox.evernote.com/Registration.action
In order to run the client client sample code, you need a developer token. Get one at https://sandbox.evernote.com/api/DeveloperToken.action
Getting Started - Client
The code in sample/client/EDAMTest.py demonstrates the basics of using the Evernote API, using developer tokens to simplify the authentication process while you're learning.
-
Open
sample/client/EDAMTest.py -
Scroll down and fill in your Evernote developer token.
-
On the command line, run the following command to execute the script:
$ export PYTHONPATH=../../lib; python EDAMTest.py
Getting Started - Django with OAuth
Web applications must use OAuth to authenticate to the Evernote service. The code in sample/django contains a simple web apps that demonstrate the OAuth authentication process. The application use the Django framework. You don't need to use Django for your application, but you'll need it to run the sample code.
-
Install
django,oauth2andevernotelibrary. You can also userequirements.txtforpip. -
Open the file
oauth/views.py -
Fill in your Evernote API consumer key and secret.
-
On the command line, run the following command to start the sample app:
$ python manage.py runserver
-
Open the sample app in your browser:
http://localhost:8000
Getting Started - Pyramid with OAuth
If you want to use Evernote API with Pyramid, the code in sample/pyramid will be good start.
-
Install the sample project using pip on your command line like this.
$ pip install -e . -
Open the file
development.ini -
Fill in your Evernote API consumer key and secret.
-
On the command line, run the following command to start the sample app:
$ pserve development.ini
-
Open the sample app in your browser:
http://localhost:6543
Usage
OAuth
client = EvernoteClient(
consumer_key='YOUR CONSUMER KEY',
consumer_secret='YOUR CONSUMER SECRET',
sandbox=True # Default: True
)
request_token = client.get_request_token('YOUR CALLBACK URL')
client.get_authorize_url(request_token)
=> https://sandbox.evernote.com/OAuth.action?oauth_token=OAUTH_TOKEN
To obtain the access token
access_token = client.get_access_token(
request_token['oauth_token'],
request_token['oauth_token_secret'],
request.GET.get('oauth_verifier', '')
)
Now you can make other API calls
client = EvernoteClient(token=access_token)
note_store = client.get_note_store()
notebooks = note_store.listNotebooks()
UserStore
Once you acquire token, you can use UserStore. For example, if you want to call UserStore.getUser:
client = EvernoteClient(token=access_token)
user_store = client.get_user_store()
user_store.getUser()
You can omit authenticationToken in the arguments of UserStore functions.
NoteStore
If you want to call NoteStore.listNotebooks:
note_store = client.get_note_store()
note_store.listNotebooks()
NoteStore for linked notebooks
If you want to get tags for linked notebooks:
linked_notebook = note_store.listLinkedNotebooks()[0]
shared_note_store = client.getSharedNoteStore(linked_notebook)
shared_notebook = shared_note_store.getSharedNotebookByAuth()
shared_note_store.listTagsByNotebook(shared_notebook.notebookGuid)
NoteStore for Business
If you want to get the list of notebooks in your business account:
business_note_store = client.get_business_note_store()
business_note_store.listNotebooks()

Regular expressions
In general, the "re" regex module doesn't handle some of our regular expressions in Limits, but re2 does.
