ThreatExchange is a set of RESTful APIs on the Facebook Platform for querying, publishing, and sharing security threat information. It's a lightweight way for exchanging details on malware, phishing pages, and other threats with either specific members of the community or the ThreatExchange community at large.
For full details on ThreatExchange and best practices are available in the ThreatExchange docs.
The api-reference-examples folder contains example implementations in various languages for using the API. These implementations are at various stages of completeness and may not all implement every endpoint availible on the ThreatExchange API. For full details on the ThreatExchange API and UI, data formats, and best practices are available in the ThreatExchange docs.
pytx3 is an all-in-one python package CLI which allows basic integration with ThreatExchange including matching on publically availible data.
ThreatExchange supports a variety of hashing algorithms for photos and videos. Two widely used algorithms are PDQ for photos and TMK for videos. The top-level folders pdq and tmk includes documentation and implementation exampels of these algorithms.
For tag-driven workloads, supporting either bulk download or incremental updates, our currently recommended best practice is a Java reference design.
