Similarly request for access token also result in same error
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://localhost/o/token/");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "grant_type=authorization_code&\ncode=PSwrMilnJESZVFfFsyEmEukNv0sGZ8&\nclient_id=MY_CLIENT_ID&\nredirect_uri=http://localhost:30000");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "USERNAME" . ":" . "PASSWORD");
$headers = array();
$headers[] = "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
echo $result;
if (curl_errno($ch)) {
echo 'Error:' . curl_error($ch);
}
curl_close ($ch);

You have to use https://kc.kobotoolbox.org/api/v1/ not https://kf.kobotoolbox.org/api/v1/
checkout docs here http://help.kobotoolbox.org/managing-your-project-s-data/rest-services
MY WORKING CODE:
$url = 'https://kc.kobotoolbox.org/api/v1/stats';
$data = array (
// 'q' => 'nokia'
);
$params = '';
foreach($data as $key=>$value)
$params .= $key.'='.$value.'&';
$params = trim($params, '&');
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url.'?'.$params ); //Url together with parameters
//curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT , 7); //Timeout after 7 seconds
//curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER , false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$header = array();
$header[] = 'Content-length: 0';
$header[] = 'Content-type: application/json';
$header[] = 'Authorization: Token xxxxxxxx';
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $header);
//curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "USERNAME" . ":" . "PASSWORD");
$result = curl_exec($ch);
if(curl_errno($ch)) //catch if curl error exists and show it
echo 'Curl error: ' . curl_error($ch);
echo $result;
