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. For more information, 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
