Hello,

I set a post request with HTTP node to the authentification.  
But I don’t know how to get back cookie to put in next node.

Ok not sure if I fully understand. You made an HTTP request to authenticate against an API, then you got a cookie in the response, and now you want to use that cookie in other nodes. If this is what you want to do, you have to use [expressions](https://docs.n8n.io/nodes/expressions.html#expressions) in the nodes you want to have access to the cookie.

Btw I guess the cookie is returned in the header. By default, the HTTP node returns the body. If you also want to get the headers you have to set the optional field `Full Response.`
