# Perform Logout for Native Apps

`DELETE /self-service/logout/api`

Use this endpoint to log out an identity using an Ory Session Token. If the Ory Session Token was successfully
revoked, the server returns a 204 No Content response. A 204 No Content response is also sent when
the Ory Session Token has been revoked already before.

If the Ory Session Token is malformed or does not exist a 403 Forbidden response will be returned.

This endpoint does not remove any HTTP
Cookies - use the Browser-Based Self-Service Logout Flow instead.
