Hi Zoom,  
We are trying to revoke an access token for a user authorized oauth app and getting an “Internal server error”. As per my observation that happens with expired access\_tokens. I want to know, does this happens when we use any expired access token?  
API endpoint : [https://zoom.us/oauth/revoke](https://zoom.us/oauth/revoke)  
[OAuth for user authorized apps](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/integrations/oauth/#revoking-an-access-token)

Hi @recoverlution  
Thanks for reaching out.  
Let me do some testing on my end and I will get back to you but with the scenario you are describing I would say yes. An expired acess\_token can give you an error when revoking access token.  
But let me troubleshoot this on my end and I will get back to you

I’m experiencing the same thing and would add that in this situation `/revoke` is giving me a `200` but with this response body,

```auto
{"status":false,"errorCode":-1,"errorMessage":"500 Internal Server Error","result":null}

```

Hi @lgould  
Thanks for reaching out to us and welcome to our community!  
Can you please make sure that you are using a valid access token and that it’s not expired?

Sorry should’ve been more clear, this is a situation where I know that I’m sending a invalid access token but I think the response could be improved. Returning a `200` in this case rather than say a `400` since the error message of `500 Internal Server Error` in the body doesn’t make it clear whether or not I made a mistake or if something is just wrong with the server.

Thanks for the clarification @lgould  
I will go ahead and do some testing on my end and update the Documentation team about this matter  
cheers,
