After a standard HTTP request is constructed and the request hash value is obtained, create a to-be-signed string by combining them with the signature algorithm and signing time.

StringToSign =
    Algorithm + \n +
    RequestDateTime + \n +
    HashedCanonicalRequest

Parameters in the pseudocode are described as follows:

Algorithm
Signature algorithm. For SHA-256, the value is SDK-HMAC-SHA256.
RequestDateTime
Request timestamp, which is the same as X-Sdk-Date in the request header. The format is YYYYMMDDTHHMMSSZ.
HashedCanonicalRequest
Hash value generated using the SHA-256 algorithm based on the standard request constructed in Constructing a Standard Request.

In this example, the following to-be-signed string is obtained:

SDK-HMAC-SHA256
20191115T033655Z
