Solution

  • As per the official blog

    Token Invalidation

    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

    A 200 response indicates that the token was successfully invalidated.

    However as per this :

    Third party applications do not have any way to log a user out from LinkedIn - this is controlled by the website. Invalidating the token makes the user re-authorize the next time they try to use the application, but once they have logged into LinkedIn their browser will remain logged in until they log out via the website.

    So In conclusion : as of this date of writing, Linked In does not give this support to 3rd Party Applications
