[[security-api-invalidate-token]]
=== Delete token API
Invalidates a bearer token for access without requiring basic authentication.
==== Request
`DELETE /_xpack/security/oauth2/token`
==== Description
The tokens returned by the <<security-api-get-token,get token API>> have a
finite period of time for which they are valid and after that time period, they
can no longer be used. That time period is defined by the
`xpack.security.authc.token.timeout` setting. For more information, see
<<token-service-settings>>.
If you want to invalidate a token immediately, use this delete token API.
==== Request Body
The following parameters can be specified in the body of a DELETE request and
pertain to deleting a token:
`token` (required)::
(string) An access token.
==== Examples
The following example invalidates the specified token immediately:
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
DELETE /_xpack/security/oauth2/token
{
"token" : "dGhpcyBpcyBub3QgYSByZWFsIHRva2VuIGJ1dCBpdCBpcyBvbmx5IHRlc3QgZGF0YS4gZG8gbm90IHRyeSB0byByZWFkIHRva2VuIQ=="
}
--------------------------------------------------
// NOTCONSOLE
A successful call returns a JSON structure that indicates whether the token
has already been invalidated.
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
{
"created" : true <1>
}
--------------------------------------------------
// NOTCONSOLE
<1> When a token has already been invalidated, `created` is set to false.
