Searching for Facebook applications on the graph using Python

I am working with Python and I have installed the Python SDK so I can work with Facebook Open Graph:

pip install facebook-sdk

Then I created this simple file with the below code:

import facebook

ACCESS_TOKEN = '<MY APP ACCESS TOKEN OBTAINED FROM https://developers.facebook.com/tools/access_token/>'

graph = facebook.GraphAPI(ACCESS_TOKEN)

inf = graph.request('search', args={'q': 'bingo', 'type': 'application'})

The problem is that I am getting this error: 

GraphAPIError: (#200) Must have a valid access_token to access this endpoint

when searching for an application like on the last line of code above, and I can't figure out why. Note that when I run code like:

inf = graph.request('search', args={'q': 'bingo', 'type': 'page'})
print inf

... everything works fine. i.e: Searching for a page with keyword bingo works fine, but searching for an application with keyword bingo fails.

Does anyone know how to solve this or why it is happening?
