QEverCloud

Unofficial Evernote Cloud API for Qt

Hosted on GitHub

This library presents complete Evernote SDK for Qt. All the functionality that is described on Evernote developers site is implemented and ready to use. In particular OAuth autentication is implemented.

Most of the library is an implementation of the Thrift Evernote API.

• Evernote API structures
• Evernote API constants
• Evernote API enums and typedefs
• Evernote API services
• Exception classes

There are only little differences with the official Thrift generated C++ library that were introduced with intent to make it more convenient to use:

• Optional values in Evernote API structures are explicitly reperesented as such with Optional template as opposed to having two different structures, one for values and one for value existence flags.
• authenticationToken parameter is used mostly with the same value in all service functions calls so I've added a facility to specify this value as a defualt. As a result authenticationToken parameter is moved from the first to the last position in functions prototypes.
• Qt-style asynchrous variants of service functions.

The mentioned official C++ SDK does not provide all the programmer needs when using Evernote and there is some Evernote functionality that is not available via Thrift interface.

• OAuth authorization
• Thumbnail downloading

Using QEverCloud

As QEverCloud depends on Qt 5 it is very easy to compile and use. To use to the compiled library in your project do the following:

• Link compiled library to your project in the usual way, something like this:

  libpath = ... # path to the library
  libpath = $$clean_path($$libpath)
  LIBS += $${libpath}
  PRE_TARGETDEPS += $${libpath}

• Add QEverCloud's include subdir to your app INCLUDEPATH qmake variable:

  path = $$absolute_path($$PWD/../../some/path/QEverCloud/include)
  path = $$clean_path($$path)
  INCLUDEPATH += $$path

• Add to QT variabe the network module. If you use OAuth functionality than add also widgets and webkitwidgets modules.

Include QEverCloud.h or QEverCloudOAuth.h to use the library. The latter header is needed if you use OAuth functionality.

Qt uses OpenSSL to implement https protocol. As a result OpenSSL dynamically linked libraries (libeay32 and ssleay32) must be availabe in the PATH for your app to run successfully.
