oauth - LinkedIn OAuth2 revoke/invalidate token

Question

In the documentation I have read: "Now you can invalidate an OAuth token for your application. Just send an OAuth signed GET request to https://api.linkedin.com/uas/oauth/invalidateToken"

When I try it (LinkedIn REST API Console or C# WebRequest), It sends me Bad request (400). It can be that is an old method when LinkedIn authentication process is OAuth1.

How can I invalidate/revoke access token in LinkedIn api with OAuth2 authorization?

Thanks in advance!

Did you ever receive an answer for this? I'm looking to invalidate tokens. — dimiguel

Since previous APIs will be deprecated(if not already) and V2 will be the one in usage, I have the way to revoke token on that API:

curl --request POST \
  --url https://www.linkedin.com/oauth/v2/revoke \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
  --data client_id=CLIENT_ID_HERE \
  --data client_secret=CLIENT_SECRET_HERE \
  --data token=YOUR_TOKEN_HERE
