Unable to make a POST request to retrieve a token with `grant_type` of `authorization_code`

I'm attempting to follow the "Quick Start" guide on signing in users. I have successfully retrieved the CALLBACK_AUTHORIZATION_CODE, but when I attempt to request the token I get a 400 error. I'm following this documentation: https://kinde.com/docs/developer-tools/using-kinde-without-an-sdk/#handling-the-callback The request I'm making is to:

https://<your_kinde_sudomain>.kinde.com/oauth2/token
?client_id=<your_kinde_client_id>
&client_secret=<your_kinde_client_secret>
&grant_type=authorization_code
&redirect_uri=<your_app_redirect_url>
&code=<CALLBACK_AUTHORIZATION_CODE>

https://<your_kinde_sudomain>.kinde.com/oauth2/token
?client_id=<your_kinde_client_id>
&client_secret=<your_kinde_client_secret>
&grant_type=authorization_code
&redirect_uri=<your_app_redirect_url>
&code=<CALLBACK_AUTHORIZATION_CODE>

I have triple checked that each of the credentials being sent is correct, yet I still get a 400 response with no error message in the body of the response. Note: Probably not super important, but my backend is written in Go, although I can't seem to get it to work even with a basic curl request:

curl -vv -XPOST -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
  "https://karehero.kinde.com/oauth2/token?client_id=${CLIENT_ID}&client_secret=${CLIENT_SECRET}&grant_type=authorization_code&redirect_uri=http://localhost:3000&code=${CODE}"

curl -vv -XPOST -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
  "https://karehero.kinde.com/oauth2/token?client_id=${CLIENT_ID}&client_secret=${CLIENT_SECRET}&grant_type=authorization_code&redirect_uri=http://localhost:3000&code=${CODE}"
