All I can get to is the Certificate which lets me download the private key and certificate but I need the signature. I believe I have found the password and username but can't find the signature anywhere.

Hi @gotbaseball
You are only able to have either an API Certificate or an API Signature at any given moment. If you are seeing an API Certificate, you will need to revoke that certificate in order to request a Signature.
Please be aware that if you revoke a certificate it will break any current integration that is using that certificate. Please make sure that you do not need the certificate before revoking.
Thanks,
