Don't get any response by Instagram API

Question

Here is my code :

<?php

  function fetchData($url){
    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 20);
    $result = curl_exec($ch);
    curl_close($ch); 
    return $result;
  }
  $result = fetchData("https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/search?q=majoe_47&access_token=[hidden]");
  var_dump($result);
  $result = json_decode($result);
  foreach ($result->data as $post) {
    // Do something with this data.

  }
?>  

output: bool(false)

output on direct url :

{"meta":{"code":200},"data":[{"username":"majoe_47","bio":"Breiter als der T\ürsteher","website":"http:\\/\\/www.facebook.com\\/majoeduisburg","profile_picture":"http:\\/\\/photos-a.ak.instagram.com\\/hphotos-ak-xfa1\\/10584773_1460870534165160_603268483_a.jpg","full_name":"Majoe","id":"256143447"} [..more code ..]}]}
