Example query for all tags which start with malware:

https://graph.facebook.com/v24.0/threat_tags?access_token=555|aSdF123GhK&text=malware

{
  "data": [
    {
      "id": "1318516441499594",
      "text": "malware"
    },
    {
      "id": "1104531542952223",
      "text": "malwaresite"
    },
    ...
}

The same query using a cURL:

curl -i -X GET \
 "https://graph.facebook.com/v14.0/threat_tags?access_token=555|7C1234&text=malware"

The same query in Python:

import requests
import json
import ast
import urllib

app_id = '555' # Replace this with your app ID
app_secret = '1234' # Replace this with your app secret
text = 'malware'

query_params = urllib.urlencode({
    'access_token' : app_id + '|' + app_secret,
    'text' : text
    })

r = requests.get('https://graph.facebook.com/v14.0/threat_tags?' + query_params)

print json.dumps(ast.literal_eval(r.text), sort_keys=True,indent=4,separators=(',', ': '))
