Evernote Downloader

This script downloads all notes and notebooks from Evernote, handles pagination, and downloads all attachments. It creates directories that represent the structure stored in Evernote.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.x
• Evernote Developer Token
• Evernote SDK for Python (evernote3)

Installation

1. Clone the Repository

   git clone https://github.com/RicketyRick/evernote-downloader.git
   cd evernote-downloader

2. Install Dependencies

   Install the required Python package using pip:

   pip install evernote3

Usage

1. Obtain Evernote Developer Token

   To use the Evernote API, you need a developer token. You can obtain it from the Evernote Developer Website.

2. Configure the Script

   Open the script file download_evernote.py and replace your_developer_token with your actual Evernote developer token:

   DEV_TOKEN = 'your_developer_token'

3. Run the Script

   Execute the script using Python:

   python download_evernote.py

4. Backup Structure

   The script will create a directory called Evernote_Backup in the current working directory. Inside this directory, it will create subdirectories for each notebook. Each note will have its own subdirectory containing an HTML file for the note content and any attachments.
