Hi, im trying to get the token and i know that i need to make a POST request to this URL [https://pim.monouso.local/api/oauth/v1/token](https://pim.monouso.local/api/oauth/v1/token) I need to send the variables client id, secret, username and password. This request will generate a access token. My configuration from oauth2 Credentials: ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/n8n/original/2X/7/7a23998c1223adaa5a3c4fa642dcc326bfbe359e.png) This not work for me! ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/n8n/original/2X/d/dec9ddd12d780c54b139d371966ed16423187e3f.png) ---

Is it not just a case of adding a HTTP Request node to your work flow then setting the OAuth 2 API option for credentials and setting the request method to post? I have not played with Akeneo but this is probably the first thing I would try just to see what happens. ---

Not because I have akeneo installed in a virtual machine and I access it from the internal network. All I need is to mount Akeneo inside a server and not locally. ---

Hey @victormiranda, I wanted to check in and see if we can close this topic. Is it safe to link this topic: [Http request : is there hidden HEADERS parameters?](http://community.n8n.io/t/http-request-is-there-hidden-headers-parameters/6815) here for the solution? ---
