To fetch the labels for a pull request, you need to fetch the associated issue (pull requests are basically issues with code attached). So, if you have pull request 324 in repository foo/bar, then fetch this issue to get the labels for that pull request:

https://api.github.com/repos/foo/bar/issues/324

See https://developer.github.com/v3/pulls/#labels-assignees-and-milestones

The same thing is true if you want to fetch a list of pull request -- you need to fetch the list of issues and use the labels from that.
