Re: [twitter-dev] OAuth Revoke Token?
This seems like to much of an edge case for Twitter to spend resources on.

Re: [twitter-dev] OAuth Revoke Token?
This seems like too much of an edge case for Twitter to spend resources on. You can always include force_login=true to always prompt the user for credentials.

Re: [twitter-dev] OAuth Revoke Token?
additionally, in oauth 2.0 we will have the ability to set expiration dates for tokens, so after a certain time periods, tokens could just automatically expire. i rather not have an actual API that would expire a token as that seems like an interesting attack vector.

Re: [twitter-dev] OAuth Revoke Token?
There is no API endpoint that I know of and don't think one should exist. Users should not trust thirdparties to self-revoke access to their accounts. Users should know how to do it from twitter.com via the connections page.
