There is currently no logout facility in the REST API, but we'll be adding it in the Winter '12 release (due real soon now).

 

I don't have the docs to hand, but it will be based on the IETF draft http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-lodderstedt-oauth-revocation-02.txt - something like

 

POST /services/oauth2/revoke HTTP/1.1
Host: login.salesforce.com
Content-Type: application/json

{"token":"45ghiukldjahdnhzdauz","client_id":"s6BhdRkqt3","client_secret":"gX1fBat3bV"}

 

I am reliably informed that there will also be a GET/JSONP mechanism.

Note that if the token is an access_token, the session will be terminated.   If the token is a refresh_token, the authorization granted by the user for the application will be terminated.

 

JSONP is indeed being supported.

 

Thanks Pat!

Does this exist yet? I couldn't find any documention for it in the REST API Developers Guide.

 

Thanks.
