django rest framework – token authentication logout

Here’s a simple view that I’m using to log out:

from rest_framework import status
from rest_framework.response import Response
from rest_framework.views import APIView

class Logout(APIView):
    def get(self, request, format=None):
        # simply delete the token to force a login
        request.user.auth_token.delete()
        return Response(status=status.HTTP_200_OK)

Then add it to your urls.py:

urlpatterns = [
    ...
    url(r'^logout/', Logout.as_view()),
]
