When using OAuth 2 to make an API call like this, as it appears you are, you should supply the token as a "Bearer" token in the "Authorization" header. The header shouldn't go on the URL itself though, as you have.
For example, using OAuth 2 with API v1 to revoke the access token, it would look like this, using curl:
curl -X POST https://api.dropboxapi.com/1/disable_access_token \ --header "Authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE"
Or, using OAuth 2 with API v2 to revoke the access token, it would look like this, using curl:
curl -X POST https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/auth/token/revoke \ --header "Authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE"
API v2 is recommended over API v1 as API v1 is deprecated.
