Log excerpt

No response

I'm also getting this bug as well. Both on the homebrew install and the Docker image. Might have to do with rate limiting on Evernote API's end. It would really stink if they are cracking down on people exporting.

I am also experiencing the same issue on linux using both the last version installed through PIP and the last portable binary

FWIW, I just got the same error using brew install. This is the first time trying to use this fantastic tool. Thank you!

PS: I've been manually trying to export a Skitch notebook as EMEX file with 12.5K images through the macOS app, which keeps failing midway through due to some error associated with a particular image. I mention this because the app is definitely exporting lots of data, maybe contributing to a rate-limit problem?

Fix: Use the OAuth option: evernote-backup init-db --oauth
This will open a webpage to request authorization to provide the necessary oauth token for the script to run.

Explanation: username-password is no longer supported for 3rd party apps.

The .EDAMSystemException provides errorCode=8, which indicates Invalid Authorization, and specifically incorrect username and/or password.

However, the above is not due to invalid credentials, but rather EN rejecting the username-password authentication.

As per the log, the error is thrown by line 781 of UserStore.py, which runs in the authenticate() function (line 558), where it confirms that this authentication function is only only available to Evernote's internal applications, and 3rd party apps must use OAuth (line 563-566)

[spitalfields]

FYI for anyone perplexed simply use

evernote-backup init-db --oauth

and a web client will open for you to confirm say 1year authorization access to Evernote - click to confirm - and then this will close and the program will successfully initialize databases etc

I didn't want to init-db; I only wanted to reauth.

I tried evernote-backup reauth --oauth and that worked.
