# POST /v1/auth/logout — end the current session

> End a user session. Returns a success confirmation. Discard the JWT token on the client side after calling this endpoint.

Signal the end of the current session and receive a logout confirmation. Call this endpoint when a user explicitly signs out of your application, then immediately discard the JWT token from your client-side storage.

## Endpoint

```
POST /v1/auth/logout
```

## Authentication

None required. Axis uses stateless JWTs — there is no server-side session to invalidate.

## Request Body

None. No request body is expected.

## Response — 200 OK

<ResponseField name="status" type="string">
  Always `"success"` for a successful response.
</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="message" type="string">
  Human-readable confirmation that the logout was processed.
</ResponseField>

```json theme={null}
{
  "status": "success",
  "message": "Logged out successfully"
}
```

<Note>
  Axis issues stateless JWTs — the server does not maintain a session store, so there is nothing to invalidate server-side. **After calling this endpoint, you are responsible for removing the token from all client-side storage** (e.g. memory, `localStorage`, `sessionStorage`, or cookies). Any request made with the old token before it naturally expires will still succeed, so treat logout as a client-side operation first and foremost.
