Create a minimal working Evernote example. Use when starting a new Evernote integration, testing your setup, or learning basic Evernote API patterns. Trigger with phrases like "evernote hello world", "evernote example", "evernote quick start", "simple evernote code", "create first note".

Create your first Evernote note using the Cloud API, demonstrating ENML format and NoteStore operations.
evernote-install-auth setupInitialize 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
});
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 or attributes).
classid<?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>
<en-todo checked="false"/> A task item
</en-note>
Build ENML content and call noteStore.createNote(). The returned object contains the guid, title, and created timestamp.
async function createHelloWorldNote() {
const noteStore = client.getNoteStore();
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>Created at: ${new Date().toISOString()}</p>
</en-note>`;
const note = new Evernote.Types.Note();
note.title = 'Hello World - Evernote API';
note.content = content;
const createdNote = await noteStore.createNote(note);
console.log('Note GUID:', createdNote.guid);
return createdNote;
}
Use listNotebooks() to enumerate notebooks and getNote() with boolean flags to control what data is returned (content, resources, recognition, alternate data).
const noteStore = client.getNoteStore();
// List all notebooks
const notebooks = await noteStore.listNotebooks();
notebooks.forEach(nb => console.log(`- ${nb.name} (${nb.guid})`));
// Retrieve a note with content
const note = await noteStore.getNote(noteGuid, true, false, false, false);
console.log('Title:', note.title);
For the complete working example with Python SDK, todo lists, and a combined workflow, see Implementation Guide.
| Error | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
EDAMUserException: BAD_DATA_FORMAT | Invalid ENML content | Validate against ENML DTD; ensure XML declaration and DOCTYPE |
EDAMNotFoundException | Note or notebook not found | Check GUID is correct and note is not in trash |
EDAMSystemException: RATE_LIMIT_REACHED | Too many requests | Wait for rateLimitDuration seconds before retrying |
Missing DOCTYPE | ENML missing required header | Add <?xml ...?> and <!DOCTYPE ...> before <en-note> |
Proceed to evernote-local-dev-loop for development workflow setup.
Sandbox test: Create a note using a Developer Token with sandbox: true, verify it appears in your sandbox account at sandbox.evernote.com.
Production note: Switch to OAuth access token, set sandbox: false, create a note in a specific notebook using note.notebookGuid.
