The OmniAuth gem sets auth request urls for outgoing authorizations and the return failure path.īy default, OmniAuth will configure the path /auth/:provider. Get '/auth/failure' => 'omni_auth#failure' Get '/auth/:provider/callback' => 'omni_auth#callback' Next we need to place the appropriate routes in our routes file.
If the controller wasn't created yet, you would not be able to run any part of the application. The reason we generated the controller before the initializer is because the last line of the initializer is pointing to a method we will soon define in the controller. _failure = OmniAuthController.action(:failure) # (do not place them in a file saved to your projects repository)Įvernote_site = evernote ? '' : '' # Place the credentials in a secure place Next lets create an initializer for Evernote with OmniAuth. Initializerįirst we'll build a controller for handling the OmniAuth response (since the gems will handle the request). Go ahead and run bundle for the gems to be grabbed for your Rails site. These three gems will provide everything you need for handling Evernote's API. Dependenciesįirst we need to add the dependencies to our Gemfile. But they're not that complex, so it shouldn't be too difficult to follow along. Getting set up will take quite a few steps. Once you fill out the pop-up form and click Submit, the credentials will work on both the sandbox and personal Evernote accounts. If you would like to activate the credentials for public use, go to and click the Resources dropdown menu. At this point you now have working credentials for the API Sandbox. Save your credentials, as the site will never share these with you again. You will be emailed a copy of the credentials as well as see them in the results page. If you get any errors, check for invalid characters. Go to and click on GET AN API KEY.įill out your details, and then choose either basic or full access. Before we dive into the Rails bits, we need to create some credentials for accessing the Evernote API. We'll start from a place where Rails is already installed and Devise is configured for handling user sessions. You can improve on the Evernote ecosystem by bringing your technology to the table. Having API access to Evernote gives you superb leverage in harnessing the data you have. So much of business is sorting and organizing data. Whichever features you choose to investigate, be sure to read their terms of service so that you are within the guidelines of API usage. The Evernote API provides has some really great features to take advantage of, including document download and OCR (optical character recognition). Many people find Evernote to be an invaluable tool for organizing their life.
