Flask api endpoint only passes first arguement

I'm using curl on the endpoint

http://0.0.0.0:5001/event/email/?event_type=open&email_type=questions

The result that I am getting is 

{
    "email_type": null,
    "event_type": "open"
}

Why am I getting null for email_type? I suspect it has something to do with how the & is being dealt with by Flask?

Part of my code is as follows:

from flask import Flask, request
from flask_restful import Resource, Api

app = Flask(__name__)
api = Api(app)

class EmailOpen(Resource):

    def get(self):
        email_type = request.args.get("email_type")
        event_type = request.args.get("event_type")

        ad_id = request.args.get("ad_id")
        # print(event_type,email_type)
        if not ad_id:
            return {"event_type":event_type,"email_type":email_type}
        return {"event_type":event_type,"email_type":email_type,"ad_id":ad_id}

api.add_resource(EmailOpen, '/event/email/')

I've looked up people with similar problems but they don't seem to match my scenario exactly

  1. Flask URL routing : url_for only passes first argument

  2. Get the data received in a Flask request

Bash must be interpreting things differently, adding the "" works.

curl "http://0.0.0.0:5001/event/email/?event_type=open&email_type=questions"
