Any suggestion? Many thanks

# Import libraries
import configparser 
from binance.client import Client


# Load keys from config file
config = configparser.ConfigParser()
config.read_file(open(r'C:\\*****my_path****\\secret.cfg'))
test_api_key = config.get('BINANCE', 'TEST_API_KEY')
test_secret_key = config.get('BINANCE', 'TEST_SECRET_KEY')

#ping the server
client.ping()
#get the server time
time_res = client.get_server_time()

# Getting account info
info = client.get_account()  
# Get current products 
products = client.get_products()
#Get all coin info
info = client.get_all_coins_info()

print(info)

I spent few hours debugging right "signature" generation, checking time sync and getting such message. found that it is required to put signature as last api query param:

not working: [https://...]?signature=..&recvWindow=..&timestamp=..

working order: [https://...]?recvWindow =..&timestamp=..&signature=..
