403 Forbidden Errors When Using Evernote API

[lmitchell 0]

Hi there,

I work for a large SAAS company and we have an Evernote integration with our app. We have made no changes to this area in years, although, recently we have had customers having issues using the integration. We can see that despite them having a valid auth token and the app being authorized with Evernote, we are getting 403 Forbidden errors. We use the C# SDK.

For example:

Couldn't connect to server: System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden.
at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetResponse()
at Thrift.Transport.THttpClient.SendRequest() in c:\Users\Eric\projects\evernote-sdk-csharp\src\Thrift\Transport\THttpClient.cs:line 147

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Note: I  have also emailed devsupport@evernote.com about this issue.

 

Thanks for your time.

I heard back from dev support:

Some of your requests are being mistakenly flagged as abuses by our security filters. Apparently, they carry a very similar signature as the requests of an actual abuser.
 
I've requested our security team to whitelist your User-Agent header ("xxx"). It should be effective within a couple of days. Thank you for your patience!

So hopefully this will be resolved soon!
