How do I implement JWT authentication logout in Django APIs?

To implement JWT authentication logout in Django APIs, you can follow these steps: 1. Invalidate the JWT token on the server side. 2. Optionally, maintain a blacklist of tokens. 3. Ensure the client deletes the token from local storage.

What if I want to keep track of logged-out users?

You can maintain a blacklist of tokens in your database. When a user logs out, add their token to this blacklist and check against it for each request.

Is there a way to automatically expire tokens after a certain time?

Yes, you can set an expiration time for your JWT tokens when you create them. Use the 'exp' claim to specify the expiration time.

Can I use Django Rest Framework for this?

Absolutely! Django Rest Framework has built-in support for JWT authentication, making it easier to implement.
