A Simplified RESTful workflow

Log out

When you want to terminate the client session, log out to delete the current access token.

Prerequisites

Verify that you are logged in and have a valid access token.

Procedure

Make a request to the /api/logout endpoint by specifying your username (resp. access token) with the User (resp. Authorization: Token) header.

Example: logging out

This example deletes the current access token which logs the user out.
Request:

      POST https://trackhubregistry.org/api/logout
      Authorization: Token 52d07632507e6c17f4dca1a2c6b76fb146078c2e

Response:

      200 OK
      ...
      {
         "success": "Successfully logged out."
      }

Example Clients

use strict;
use warnings;

use JSON;
use HTTP::Request::Common;
use LWP::UserAgent; # install LWP::Protocol::https as well

my $auth_token = 'exampletoken';
my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new(ssl_opts => { verify_hostname => 0 });

my $request = POST('https://trackhubregistry.org/api/logout', 
  'Content-type' => 'multipart/form-data', 
  'Authorization' => "Token $auth_token"
);

my $response = $ua->request($request);
my $response_message;
if ($response->is_success) {
  print "Logged out successfully!\n" if $response;
} else {
  die sprintf "Couldn't logout, reason: %s [%d] ", $response->content, $response->code;
}
