Revoke an access token

Revoking an access token consists of the authorization server invalidating the token for all purposes. If, for example, a user indicates to a client that they no longer want the client to have access to something, the client can request the associated token be revoked.

These code snippets enable the client to call a management endpoint to revoke the specified access token.

Before you begin

We recommend creating a wallet account on the test wallet. Creating an account allows you to test your client against the Open Payments APIs by using an ILP-enabled wallet funded with play money.

TypeScript

Prerequisites

• Node 20
• A package manager such as NPM or PNPM

• Open Payments SDK

• TSX

Additional configuration

Add "type": "module" to package.json

Add the following to tsconfig.json

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "ES2022",
    "module": "ES2022"
  }
}

Import dependencies

Import createAuthenticatedClient from the Open Payments SDK package.

Import dependencies

import { createAuthenticatedClient } from "@interledger/open-payments";

Copied! Copy import { createAuthenticatedClient } from "@interledger/open-payments";

Create an authenticated Open Payments client

Create an Open Payments-authenticated client by providing the following properties:

• walletAddressURL : your Open Payments-enabled wallet address that your client will use to authenticate itself to one or more authorization servers.
• privateKey : the EdDSA-Ed25519 key or preferably the absolute or relative file path to the key that is bound to your wallet address. A public key signed with this private key must be made available as a public JWK document at {walletAddressUrl}/jwks.json url.
• keyId : the identifier of the private key and the corresponding public key.

Initialize Open Payments client

const client = await createAuthenticatedClient({
  walletAddressUrl: WALLET_ADDRESS,
  privateKey: PRIVATE_KEY_PATH,
  keyId: KEY_ID,
});

Copied! Copy const client = await createAuthenticatedClient({ walletAddressUrl: WALLET_ADDRESS, privateKey: PRIVATE_KEY_PATH, keyId: KEY_ID, });

Get started

Import dependencies

import { createAuthenticatedClient } from "@interledger/open-payments";

Copied! Copy import { createAuthenticatedClient } from "@interledger/open-payments";

Initialize Open Payments client

const client = await createAuthenticatedClient({
  walletAddressUrl: WALLET_ADDRESS,
  privateKey: PRIVATE_KEY_PATH,
  keyId: KEY_ID,
});

Copied! Copy const client = await createAuthenticatedClient({ walletAddressUrl: WALLET_ADDRESS, privateKey: PRIVATE_KEY_PATH, keyId: KEY_ID, });

Revoke token

await client.token.revoke({
  url: MANAGE_URL,
  accessToken: ACCESS_TOKEN,
});

Copied! Copy await client.token.revoke({ url: MANAGE_URL, accessToken: ACCESS_TOKEN, });
