I can help you with that. The error message you’re encountering suggests that the HMAC SHA 256 signature is not being generated correctly. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you resolve the issue:
Step 1: Verify the Secret Key
Before sending the HMAC SHA 256 signature, make sure that your secret key ( config.Secret_Key ) is correct and has not been compromised.
import binance

Replace with your API key and secret key
api_key = "YOUR_API_KEY"
secret_key = "YOUR_SECRET_KEY"
api_config = {
"API_KEY": api_key,
"SECRET_KEY": secret_key
}
Generate the HMAC SHA 256 signature
signature = binance.api_sign_x_sign(config.API_Key, config.Secret_Key)
Step 2: Use the Correct Binance API Endpoint
Make sure that you’re using the correct endpoint for sending trades to your Binance API. The endpoint is
Define the API endpoint
endpoint = "
Step 3: Update the HMAC Signature Generation
To generate an HMAC SHA 256 signature, you need to use the binance.api_sign_x_signfunction and provide the correct parameters.
Define the parameters for the HMAC signature generation
api_config = {
"API_KEY": api_key,
"SECRET_KEY": secret_key
}
Generate the HMAC SHA 256 signature
try:
signature = binance.api_sign_x_sign(endpoint, api_config)
except Exception as e:
Handle any exceptions that occur during signature generation
print(f"Error generating HMAC SHA 256 signature: {e}")
Additional Recommendations
- Make sure that your secret key is not hardcoded in your code. Consider using environment variables or a secure secrets management solution.
- If you're using Python's built-in hashlib` library to sign the trades, ensure that you’re using the correct parameters and algorithms for HMAC SHA 256.
- When generating signatures, always use the same secret key for all API operations.
Here’s an updated version of your code incorporating these recommendations:
import binance
import hashlib
Replace with your API key and secret key
api_key = "YOUR_API_KEY"
secret_key = "YOUR_SECRET_KEY"
Define the Binance API endpoint
endpoint = "
def generate_hmac_signature(api_config):
Generate the HMAC SHA 256 signature using hashlib library
signature = hashlib.sha256()
signature.update(str.encode(api_config["API_KEY"]))
signature.update(str.encode(secret_key))
return signature.hex()
Define the parameters for the HMAC signature generation
api_config = {
"API_KEY": api_key,
"SECRET_KEY": secret_key
}
Generate the HMAC SHA 256 signature
signature = generate_hmac_signature(api_config)
By following these steps and recommendations, you should be able to resolve any issues with generating HMAC SHA 256 signatures for your Binance API.
