What this skill does
Evernote Common Errors Overview Comprehensive guide to diagnosing and resolving Evernote API errors. Evernote uses three exception types: EDAMUserException (client errors), EDAMSystemException (server/rate limit errors), and EDAMNotFoundException (invalid GUIDs). Prerequisites Basic Evernote SDK setup Understanding of Evernote data model Instructions EDAMUserException Error Codes Code Name Cause Fix ------ ------ ------- ----- 1 BADDATAFORMAT Invalid ENML, missing DOCTYPE Validate ENML before sending; check for forbidden elements 2 DATAREQUIRED Missing required field (title, content) Ensure note.title and note.content are set 3 PERMISSIONDENIED API key lacks permissions Request additional permissions from Evernote 4 INVALIDAUTH Invalid or revoked token Re-authenticate user via OAuth 5 AUTHEXPIRED Token past expiration date Check edamexpires, refresh token 6 LIMITREACHED Account limit exceeded (250 notebooks) Clean up resources before creating new ones 7 QUOTAREACHED Monthly upload quota exceeded Check user.accounting.remaining ENML Validation The most common error is BADDATAFORMAT from invalid ENML. Validate before sending: EDAMSystemException Handling Rate limit errors include rateLimitDuration (seconds to wait). Maintenance errors should be retried with progressive backoff. EDAMNotFoundException Handling Thrown when a GUID does not exist (deleted note, wrong user, invalid format). Handle gracefully by returning null instead of throwing. Error Handler Service Build a centralized error handler that classifies exceptions and returns structured results with type, code, action, and recoverable flags.
