Gem Version

Evernote OAuth / Thrift API client library for Ruby

Install the gem

gem install evernote_oauth

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

Setup

Put your API keys in the config/evernote.yml

development:
  consumer_key: YOUR CONSUMER KEY
  consumer_secret: YOUR CONSUMER SECRET
  sandbox: [true or false]

Or you can just pass those information when you create an instance of the client

client = EvernoteOAuth::Client.new(
  consumer_key: YOUR CONSUMER KEY,
  consumer_secret: YOUR CONSUMER SECRET,
  sandbox: [true or false]
)

Usage

OAuth

client = EvernoteOAuth::Client.new
request_token = client.request_token(:oauth_callback => 'YOUR CALLBACK URL')
request_token.authorize_url
 => https://sandbox.evernote.com/OAuth.action?oauth_token=OAUTH_TOKEN

To obtain the access token

access_token = request_token.get_access_token(oauth_verifier: params[:oauth_verifier])

Now you can make other API calls

token = access_token.token
client = EvernoteOAuth::Client.new(token: token)
note_store = client.note_store
notebooks = note_store.listNotebooks(token)

UserStore

Once you acquire token, you can use UserStore. For example, if you want to call UserStore.getUser:

user_store = EvernoteOAuth::Client.new(token: token).user_store
user_store.getUser

You can omit authenticationToken in the arguments of UserStore/NoteStore functions:

NoteStore

If you want to call NoteStore.listNotebooks:

note_store = EvernoteOAuth::Client.new(token: token).note_store
note_store.listNotebooks

NoteStore for linked notebooks

If you want to get tags for linked notebooks:

linked_notebook = note_store.listLinkedNotebooks.first # any notebook
shared_note_store = client.shared_note_store(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:

user_store = client.user_store
user = user_store.getUser
business_note_store = client.business_note_store
if user.belongs_to_business?
  business_note_store.listNotebooks
end

Method Chaining

You can chain methods:

note_store.findNotes(Evernote::EDAM::NoteStore::NoteFilter.new, 0, 10).first.tags.first.parent
 => [<Evernote::EDAM::Type::Tag guid:"xxxxx", name:"sample", updateSequenceNum:100>]

Here are the additional methods for each types:

  • Evernote::EDAM::NoteStore::NoteList
    • notes
  • Evernote::EDAM::NoteStore::NoteMetadata
    • tags
  • Evernote::EDAM::NoteStore::NotesMetadataList
    • notes
  • Evernote::EDAM::NoteStore::SyncChunk
    • notes, notebooks, tags, searches, resources, linkedNotebooks
  • Evernote::EDAM::Type::Note
    • notebook, tags
  • Evernote::EDAM::Type::Resource
    • note: needs hash argument
      • with_constant: boolean
      • with_resources_data: boolean
      • with_resources_recognition: boolean
      • with_resources_alternate_data: boolean
  • Evernote::EDAM::Type::SharedNotebook
    • notebook
  • Evernote::EDAM::Type::Tag
    • parent

Notes: Those methods call thrift API internally. The result will be cached in the object so that the second method call wouldn't thrift API again.

Image Adding

Additional method is defined in Note to be easily added an image:

note = Evernote::EDAM::Type::Note.new(
  title: 'Note',
  tagNames: ['Evernote API Sample']
)

filename = "enlogo.png"
image = File.open(filename, "rb") { |io| io.read }
hexdigest = note.add_resource(filename, image, 'image/png')

You can use hexdigest within ENXML:

<en-media type="image/png" hash="#{hexdigest}"/>

Utility methods for Business

This gem provides some utility methods to deal with Evernote Business.

List business notebooks

To list all business notebooks the user can access

client = EvernoteOAuth::Client.new(token: token)
client.list_business_notebooks

Create a business note

To create a business note in a business notebook

note = Evernote::EDAM::Type::Note.new
business_notebook = client.list_business_notebooks.first
client.create_note_in_business_notebook(note, business_notebook)

Create a business notebook

To create a business notebook

notebook = Evernote::EDAM::Type::Notebook.new
client.create_business_notebook(notebook)

Get a notebook corresponding to the given business notebook

business_notebook = client.list_business_notebooks.first
client.get_corresponding_notebook(business_notebook)

Determine if the user can edit the notebook

notebook.writable?

Determine if the user is a part of a business

user.belongs_to_business?

Get a business name of the user
