### README # This Python scripts exports all the OneNote notebooks linked to your Microsoft account to HTML files. ## Output # The notebooks will each become a subdirectory of the `output` folder, with further subdirectories # for the sections within each notebook and the pages within each section. Each page is a directory # containing the HTML file `main.html` and two directories `images` and `attachments` (if necessary) # for the images and attachments. Any sub-pages will be subdirectories within this one. ## Setup # In order to run the script, you must first do the following: # 1. Go to https://aad.portal.azure.com/ and log in with your Microsoft account. # 2. Select "Azure Active Directory" and then "App registrations" under "Manage". # 3. Select "New registration". Choose any name, set "Supported account types" to "Accounts in any # organizational directory and personal Microsoft accounts" and under "Redirect URI", select Web # and enter `http://localhost:5000/getToken`. Register. # 4. Copy "Application (client) ID" and paste it as `client_id` below in this script. # 5. Select "Certificates & secrets" under "Manage". Press "New client secret", choose a name and # confirm. # 6. Copy the client secret and paste it as `secret` below in this script. # 7. Select "API permissions" under "Manage". Press "Add a permission", scroll down and select OneNote, # choose "Delegated permissions" and check "Notes.Read" and "Notes.Read.All". Press "Add # permissions". # 8. Make sure you have Python 3.7 (or newer) installed and install the dependencies using the command # `pip install flask msal requests_oauthlib`. ## Running # In a terminal, navigate to the directory where this script is located and run it using # `python onenote_export.py`. This will start a local web server on port 5000. # In your browser navigate to http://localhost:5000 and log in to your Microsoft account. # The first time you do it, you will also have to accept that the app can read your OneNote notes. # (This does not give any third parties access to your data, as long as you don't share the client id # and secret you created on the Azure portal). After this, go back to the terminal to follow the progress. ## Note # Microsoft limits how many requests you can do within a given time period. Therefore, if you have many # notes you might eventually see messages like this in the terminal: "Too many requests, waiting 20s and # trying again." This is not a problem, but it means the entire process can take a while. Also, the login # session can expire after a while, which results in a TokenExpiredError. If this happens, simply reload # `http://localhost:5000` and the script will continue (skipping the files it already downloaded). client_id = '...' secret = '...' import os import random import re import shutil import string import time import uuid from html.parser import HTMLParser from pathlib import Path from xml.etree import ElementTree import flask import msal from requests_oauthlib import OAuth2Session output_path = Path('output') graph_url = 'https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0' authority_url = 'https://login.microsoftonline.com/common' scopes = ['Notes.Read', 'Notes.Read.All'] redirect_uri = 'http://localhost:5000/getToken' app = flask.Flask(__name__) app.debug = True app.secret_key = os.urandom(16) application = msal.ConfidentialClientApplication( client_id, authority=authority_url, client_credential=secret ) @app.route("/") def main(): resp = flask.Response(status=307) resp.headers['location'] = '/login' return resp @app.route("/login") def login(): auth_state = str(uuid.uuid4()) flask.session['state'] = auth_state authorization_url = application.get_authorization_request_url(scopes, state=auth_state, redirect_uri=redirect_uri) resp = flask.Response(status=307) resp.headers['location'] = authorization_url return resp def get_json(graph_client, url, params=None): values = [] next_page = url while next_page: resp = get(graph_client, next_page, params=params).json() if 'value' not in resp: raise RuntimeError(f'Invalid server response: {resp}') values += resp['value'] next_page = resp.get('@odata.nextLink') return values def get(graph_client, url, params=None): while True: resp = graph_client.get(url, params=params) if resp.status_code == 429: # We are being throttled due to too many requests. # See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/throttling print(' Too many requests, waiting 20s and trying again.') time.sleep(20) elif resp.status_code == 500: # In my case, one specific note page consistently gave this status # code when trying to get the content.
