Photo credit It’s right in the middle of busy conference season, and I was prepping for an upcoming conference talk. As I often do, I went to Neo4j Aura to spin up a free database and use Cypher with APOC to import data from an API, but this API requires a header, and the APOC procedure that adds headers to a request is blocked by security in Aura. Hm, I needed a new route.

Photo credit I recently started work on a joint project with my colleague, Jason Koo. For this project, we want to import data from second brain apps (such as Obsidian, Notion, Evernote, etc) to Neo4j. Since I use Evernote, I was tasked with getting my notes out of Evernote. In this post, I will show you how to use the Evernote API and SDK in a Spring Boot application to retrieve data from Evernote.
