Evernote - can I use oauth authentication with Make?

Features

Hi

I’ve setup a number of scenarios that each look at specific notebooks in Evernote every 15 mins, see if they have had new notes added to them, and if they meet certain criteria then it renames the note.

There are about 15 scerarios. It would be better to write something that could retrieve a list of notebooks, iterate over this list and check for new notes, then apply the logic above.

In order to use the Evernote API to call a method that lists notebooks the documentation says I have to use the oauth method, which seems to me to be :slight_smile:

  • use an Evernote Dev key and secret to access Evernote API (I have these)
  • The oauth process then asks “me” to login
  • Once authenticated Evernote supplies a temporary token and other security info I can use to access the API

I can’t see away of doing this within Make. Sure I could write something in Python that could do this, but I would like to use Make.

Has anyone attempted this before?

Thanks

Stuart

I guess the Evernote app doesn’t have a built in “Make API Call” module which is a shame. You can setup an HTTP call with an oAuth authentication and follow the oAuth flow there to setup a connection to Evernote.

You can submit a suggestion to create a Evernote “Make API Call” module to the Idea exchange, under App improvement ideas. Don’t forget to search for it first, just in case someone already suggested it!
