Evernote Thumbnails

Question

I am writing a simple application that lists all the Notes via the Evernote API. I have successfully authenticated and retrieved a list of Notes.

Now I am trying to get Note thumbnails via the Evernote API. I have read their [documentation here][1]. I tried a POST request, but for some reason it's not working. Obviously, I am doing something wrong. Can you please give me a quick, simple, example?

Example Code:

<form method="post" action="https://www.evernote.com/shard/s226/thm/note/64c08998-0bd3-4964-83fd-73a3baaf53cd.jpg?size=40">
    <input type="submit" value="View Thumbnail">
</form>

I just set the form method to POST and action to Note Thumbnail. The note thumbnail works when you log in yourself into the Evernote website, but otherwise, it just says access denied. I am new to Evernote API, so I tried the above code just to see if that works or not.

Correct Example Code:

<form method="post" action="https://www.evernote.com/shard/s226/thm/note/64c08998-0bd3-4964-83fd-73a3baaf53cd.jpg?size=40">
    <input type="hidden" name="auth" value="{authentication token}">
    <input type="submit" value="View Thumbnail">
</form>

Answer 1

You will need to include the authentication token in the request.
