Revoke Access Token

Loading...
API endpoint path: /oauth2/v1/revoke

Permanently revokes an access token or refresh token, immediately preventing it from being used to access Candescent APIs.

Requests must use application/x-www-form-urlencoded encoding and include the token to be revoked in the token request field.

Use this endpoint to:

  • End a customer session when the customer signs out.
  • Immediately stop API access for a specific access token.
  • Invalidate a refresh token so the customer cannot obtain new access tokens without re-authenticating.
  • Respond to tokens that may have been exposed or compromised.

Behavior and capabilities:

  • Accepts either an access token or a refresh token in the token request parameter.
  • Revoking a refresh token also invalidates all access tokens issued from that refresh token.
  • Requests must authenticate using the application’s client ID and client secret via HTTP Basic Authentication.
  • Successful requests return an HTTP 204 - No Content status code.
  • Token revocation is permanent and cannot be undone. When access is required again, a new token must be requested from the [OAuth V2 token endpoint] (/api/generated/create-access-token-v-2/).
