The logout URL is /logout, will clear the login information and jump to the homepage.

  • utc_offset: if not set, will redirect once to get it from browser; if set to ignore, just ignore; if other values (float type), after login, utc_offset of your account will be updated.
  • redirect: should be URL that to be redirected after login.
  • return_token: if this parameter exists, will redirect to /service/blank?token=xxxxx after login, and the xxxxx is the fb_token that can control your data on FarBox.
