Retrofit2: Adding access token in query parameters with interceptor

I'm trying to add query parameter (access token) to every request with this tutorial

The problem are the interceptors, which count will accrue in every request created by ServiceGenerator:

httpClient.addInterceptor(new Interceptor() {

Also cause httpClient is static, all the interceptors will be executed in requests where it doesn't needed.

Should i create own OkHttpClients for normal request and own for token request? and should i initialize interceptor and authenticator only once and then use ServiceGenerator? or is there any better approach?

I think this is not a good idea to add access token as query parameter.

Better way will be to add it to a custom header like this:

okHttpClient = new OkHttpClient.Builder()
                .cache(setCache(context))
                .certificatePinner(certificatePinnerBuilder.build())
                .retryOnConnectionFailure(false)
                .readTimeout(READ_TIMEOUT, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS)
                .connectTimeout(CONNECTION_TIMEOUT, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS)
                .addInterceptor(new Interceptor() {
                    @Override
                    public okhttp3.Response intercept(Chain chain) throws IOException {
                        Request original = chain.request();

                        Request request = original.newBuilder()
                                .header("Content-type", "application/json")
                                .header("AUTH_TOKEN", token)
                                .method(original.method(), original.body())
                                .build();

                        return chain.proceed(request);
                    }
                })
                .addInterceptor(logger)
                .build();
