How can I programatically logout of meetup.com?

[steve M]

When I use my browser(safari) and login to meetup.com, I then close
the browser.
When I open the browser again and navigate to meetup.com I'm already
logged in.
I'm writing an app, and want to programatically force a 'logoff' when
a use clicks on a 'logout' button,
so when I send the app back to meetup.com for an OAuth token I want to
force the user to login again.

Is this possible?
thanks,

Though you can have the user go to http://www.meetup.com/logout in order to clear the session on our server but user needs to do so in their browser to clear our domains cookies. If you want to enable forced the authorization of an oauth token each time, you can use the "authorize" path for authorizing a token in stead of the "authenticate" path.

http://www.meetup.com/meetup_api/auth/#oauth

The main differences is that if a user has already authorized your app, meetup will immediately redirect the user back to your app.

Hi, Can I create this URL to force the User to login AND authorize the
oauth request:
https://secure.meetup.com/login/
?apiAppName=myAppName
&apiAppUrl=www.mywebsite.com
&returnUri=www.mywebsite.com/return/
%3Foauth_token%3D2aa6f0aea5cb10e96d884b767b7dad23
%26submit%3D1
%26response%3Dyes

what does submit=1 and response=yes do?
thanks,
steve

It looks like this issue from quite some time ago has not been resolved? I have the same issue. If someone is using my Web site from a public computer it is very important to have a link/button on my Web site to log the user out of Meetup.com so that when they walk away from the public computer the next person who comes along and visits Meetup.com isn't still logged into their account!
