def generate_signature(app_key, app_secret, method, path):
message = f"{method}POST\n*/*\napplication/json\n/artemis/api/example" # Initial string
key_bytes = bytes(app_secret, 'utf-8') # key
message_bytes = bytes(message, 'utf-8') # messagemsg
signature = hmac.new(key_bytes, msg=message_bytes, digestmod=hashlib.sha256).digest() # message digest
