URL issue while using cURL command

I'm running into issue while using curl to consume a webservice. There is URL which works fine if we consume using Postman but fails when consumed via cURL.

URL in Postman, which works fine:

https://localhost/WebService/InvokeEventRule?EventRuleName=S3Copy&EventParams=

Below is the cURL command, which fails and gives an error as 'EventParams is not recognized as an internal or external command'

curl -k -u testuser:Password0! --url https://localhost/WebService/InvokeEventRule?EventRuleName=S3Copy&EventParams=

Notice the ampersand (&) after S3Copy in URL, if I replace it with ?, cURL will not give the error as mentioned above but the I'll get a 'Bad Request' and of course replacing & with ? will fail in Postman too.

Could anybody advise why CURL is not accepting ampersand (&) but ? and anyway it's failing?

You need to wrap the url with quotes

curl --request GET 'https://api.github.com/repos/facebook/react/pulls?state=open&sort=updated'

NOTE: If you are using postman you can get the curl request sample by clicking on the code option in postman. It will generate your code in most of the programming language.
