title: Best practice to sync just one Evernote notebook through Cloud API
body: <p>I'm working on an web appliaction that will sync the content of <strong>only one Evernote notebook</strong> in the user's account. I have read the <a href="http://dev.evernote.com/media/pdf/edam-sync.pdf" rel="nofollow">Evernote Synchronization via EDAM</a> from Evernote. Still would like to know what  the best practice would be.</p>
  
  <p>I'm not going to sync every notebook in the user's account. One way is by using <code>NoteStore.getSyncChunk</code> or <code>NoteStore.getFilteredSyncChunk</code>. While the other is using  <code>NoteStore.findNotesMetadata</code> with a <code>NoteFilter.word</code> set with <code>updated:[datetime]</code> search term (<a href="http://dev.evernote.com/documentation/cloud/chapters/search_grammar.php#Search_Terms" rel="nofollow">Search Grammar - Search Terms</a>) .</p>
  
  <p>Here's my questions:</p>
  
  <p>What would the best practice when I sync the content at the first time? Should I use "sync chunk" or just "find notes".</p>
  
  <p>For further syncs, is it okay to sync through "find notes" and filter by updated time?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you.</p>
