Hi, I'm basically using a basic authentication with my username & password to retrieve an access token which is for some reasons not working anymore.  
Can you please help me do the same using a BasicOAuth2 with ''grant\_type'' = ''api\_key''. I have the corresponded API key, I just don't know how to write it, should I do it via the same HTTP block or use a function ?  
With thanks.

There is no such thing as 'BasicOAuth2' - it is either Basic or OAuth2. If it is OAuth2, it is not very simple unfortunately.
