Thankyou everyone who took the trouble to respond. The replies are useful, I understand more about my unintentional misuse of the forum. To PinkElephant: yup I actually tried Evernote Dev Support first and they responded with 'we cant help you try the user forums and or StackOverflow'. I usually prefer to try and work stuff out myself but I been going around in circles on this for a while so thought I should try to find expertise on this forum. Your point noted for future, thanks. To Mike P: your approach seems to reinforce that the direct approach I am after is not possible, I will look if practical for me to use R. In the past, I had created output files, and launched batch files with these files and Evernote.exe, it works, but had hoped I could use something more 'modern' and direct ahead of any potential retirement by Evernote company of legacy utilities. To Grant837: I thought I had provided structure and had spend many minutes trying to balance my question with some background on what I had tried, but I clearly failed in this attempt. Bullet points etc could have helped, but as PinkElephant suggests maybe this is not the forum. Maybe I should have just asked "Hey everyone, has anyone been able to write code in python3 to directly create new notes in Evernote production?" which is really all I am trying to find out. There seems lots of conflicting information on this - eg packages that work only on python2, uncertainty on what works on Evernote legacy vs v10, retiring sandbox etc. If you think there is still value in me rewriting my original post in this forum with more structure I will do this, though it does seem the wrong forum? agsteele: thanks for getting clarity. If these comments should be provided as individual replies let me know. I am writing this way to provide all comments in one place. Makes sense to me, due to cross references, but maybe that does not suit the forum.

I am stuck trying to fix a code problem to write new EN notes to my own paid EN 'production' account, the notes being created while running a .py file on my PC. The .py program extracts data from various sources including Excel, 'does processing', creates python dataframe objects and creates a new EN note - this works when writing to my EN sandbox environment, BUT I want to write to my EN production account . It is possible I am missing some key step in my logic, hopefully someone here can assist, as I am failing to solve any other way though I don't see too much python related support Q&A. The detail: I have a set of 4 EN dev API values - dev token, consumer key, consumer secret and expiry date, obtained from EN about 6 months ago. I can run my python code on my PC, utilising only the dev token to create new notes when referring to the sandbox as True. Important code line is; EvernoteClient(token=en_token, sandbox=sbox, china=False) . I have tried various combinations of dev token, consumer secret, consumer key with sandbox=False, in order to write to my production EN - but lots of different errors depending on the different code being used. Common error is 'make sure API codes not expired' (they are not, else I would not be able to write to sandbox) - but in any case I asked EN last week for new EN API codes. To my surprise I only received 2 values (not 4 as before) - consumer key and consumer secret - but using them makes no difference, still nothing works when trying to write to production. Various sources say use oauthlib needed, but I don't believe this is the case as I only want myself to write to my own EN. THE usual suggestion made is to use code: EvernoteClient( consumer_key=consumer_key, consumer_secret=consumer_secret, sandbox=False), which seems logical, but this does not work for either True or False. EN support says make sure you have latest EN - I prefer to use EN legacy as v10 function is nowhere near what I use in legacy, but I do have the web v10 for testing, but my code does not complete so I do not think this is relevant at this point, and as a lot of this 'Client' code predates v10. I have also referred to the Git link and used the pip install as specified, though python2 seems to be mentioned more often than python3. My question: Can anyone advise what EN API values they have used to feed into a .py file, and what python packages were used, and what versions EN used/necessary. Hopefully this wordy text also provides the key information to allow someone to offer guidance for the right direction . Hopefully I just missing something basic?

I import data/content I want to use in Evernote in the form of HTML tables (taken from external sources into Evernote). The tables are simple - they have a header row and then each row in the table if filled with various values. I want to search the table in this note using a dropdown filter. A simple example could be a table of 2 columns (and 100 rows) with ColA= City ColB= Items. If I was using Excel, and my cities were 'Paris', 'Tokyo', 'Wellington' I could add a dropdown filter and select for example 'Paris' and see only the X rows with Paris out of the 100 - a well known function. Evernote has a hint of a dropdown function - if you click on a cell in a table, you do see a dropdown symbol - but it is only to offer a few choices of changing color, changing width, delete rows. Nice function but no actual filtering of any of the data option - though the ability to select deletion whole row or whole column suggests Evernote has some awareness of the table contents? My question - is there any way to insert such a dropdown filter to a Note, either directly by Evernote, or programmatically (eg if code written to use dropdown boxes in the HTML before importing to Evernote will the function still be available in EN -- or -- is this whole new difficulty outside of EN? The search function on all notes is close but not enough - tags would need to be added to ensure limiting the notes being searched and the result still displays the full table with a highlight of searched items (and i need to know all the items before deciding the search). I could not see this being asked before, and apologies if I am missing something obvious, and I also trust this is entered in the 'right' category.
