# revokeToken()

> JWT access tokens cannot be revoked. Only opaque OAuth access tokens and refresh tokens can be revoked.

Revokes both the OAuth access token and refresh token for the associated grant for the given [`OAuthApplication`](https://clerk.com/docs/reference/backend/types/backend-oauth-application.md). The request may specify either token.

```typescript
function revokeToken(params: RevokeOAuthApplicationTokenParams): Promise<void>
```

## Usage

> Using `clerkClient` varies based on the SDK you're using. Refer to the [overview](https://clerk.com/docs/reference/backend/overview.md) for usage details, including guidance on [how to access the `userId` and other properties](https://clerk.com/docs/reference/backend/overview.md#example-get-the-user-id-and-other-properties).

```tsx
const oauthApplicationId = 'oauthapp_123'
const token = 'oat_123'

await clerkClient.oauthApplications.revokeToken({ oauthApplicationId, token })
```

## Backend API (BAPI) endpoint

This method in the SDK is a wrapper around the BAPI endpoint `POST/oauth_applications/{oauth_application_id}/revoke_token`. See the [BAPI reference](https://clerk.com/docs/reference/backend-api/tag/oauth-applications/POST/oauth_applications/%7Boauth_application_id%7D/revoke_token){{ target: '_blank' }} for more information.
