How to get access token from Instagram API

I've been following Instagram's basic guides here https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-basic-display-api/guides/getting-access-tokens-and-permissions

I added my personal Instagram account as a tester and I got the authorization code, but when I send the request to get the access token, this is my response:

{
    "error_type": "OAuthException",
    "code": 400,
    "error_message": "Missing required field client_id"
}

This is my input in POSTMAN:

Any help or possible tips will greatly be appreciated, thanks in advance!
