API talk:Logout

Does this invalidate the session/editing token?Smallman12q 19:24, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

Should this be clearing the cookies? My cURL cookies.txt has remained in tact even after calling the logout action:

function logout(){
  echo "Logging out<br/>";
  $url = $settings['wikiroot'] . "/api.php?action=logout";
  httpRequest($url);
  echo "Request complete<br/>";
  session_destroy();
}
logout();
$url = $settings['wikiroot'] . "/api.php?format=json";
$post = "action=query&meta=userinfo&uiprop=groups|rights|options";
$dat = httpRequest($url, $post);
if(empty($dat)){
  die("No data received");
}
$json = json_decode($dat);
$user = $json->query->userinfo;
echo json_encode($user);

httpRequest source can be found here: User:Bcoughlan/Login_with_curl (13:57, 28 July 2010 MTN)

Is session shared between browser and API ?

Hi,

Is it normal that when logging out through the API on a dedicated tool you also get logged out on your browser session ?

One user of my tool WPCleaner reported to me that when he logs out on WPCleaner, his session in his browser ends. --NicoV (talk) 12:34, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
