Deprecation Notice: GitHub will replace and discontinue OAuth endpoints containing access_token in the path parameter. We are introducing new endpoints that allow you to securely manage tokens for OAuth Apps by using access_token as an input parameter. The OAuth Application API will be removed on July 1, 2020. For more information, including scheduled brownouts, see the blog post.
OAuth applications can use this API method to reset a valid OAuth token without end-user involvement. Applications must save the "token" property in the response because changes take effect immediately. You must use Basic Authentication when accessing this endpoint, using the OAuth application's client_id and client_secret as the username and password. Invalid tokens will return 404 NOT FOUND.
POST /applications/:client_id/tokens/:access_token
Status: 200 OK
