Can't scrape dynamic table of bscscan. requests_html returning none and Selenium not working

Well, I have been trying this for a few days. I have to say that I am very new to Python and I don't fully understand Javascript (for now), so maybe is something stupid but I can't figure it out.

I wan't to scrape the different tables on BSCScan, because of simplicity and because all of them are almost the same I will show the code of holders. I want to store it in a dict, then append to list of dicts and convert to data frame with pandas, with Address, quantity and percentage: This is the approach I made with html_requests:

from requests_html import HTMLSession

contract = "0x84c0160d55a05a28a034e1e6776f84c5995aba3a"
url = ("https://bscscan.com/token/" + contract + "#balances")

session = HTMLSession()

r = session.get(url)
r.html.render(sleep=3)
print(r.content)
holders = r.html.xpath('//td', first = True)
print(holders)   #This returns None

This is the code I was making with requests_html, and with Selenium this is it:

driver_path = "/Users/XXX/Downloads/chromedriver"
driver = webdriver.Chrome(driver_path)   

 

def get_top_holders(driver, holders):
        list_holders = []
        driver.get(holders)
        tabla = driver.find_element_by_xpath('.//tbody').get_attribute('innerHTML') #I tried innerHTML just to see if it works in that way.
        for td in tabla.find_elements_by_xpath('.//tr'):
            name = td.find_element_by_xpath('.//td[2]/span/a').get_attribute('textContent')
            quantity = td.find_element_by_xpath('.//td[3]').get_attribute('textContent')
            percentage = td.find_element_by_xpath('//td[4]/text')
            dict = {
                'Addres': name,
                'Cantidad': quantity,
                'Porcentaje': percentage
            }
            os.system('clear')
            print(dict)
            driver.close()
            list_holders.append(dict)
        print(list_holders)
        holders_tabla =  pd.DataFrame(list_holders)
        
        return holders_tabla

I have tried with Selenium, letting it render and trying to extract, but I can't iterate from tbody. I have tried with Beautiful Soup but I don't get it completely and someone recommend me requests_html but it is returning none.

First time asking, thanks in advance!

You can use their API URL to get the data. For example (I'm using beautifulsoup to parse the result, but you could use different parser):

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup


api_url = "https://bscscan.com/token/generic-tokenholders2"
params = {
    "m": "normal",
    "a": "0x84c0160d55a05a28a034e1e6776f84c5995aba3a",
    "p": "1",
}

soup = BeautifulSoup(
    requests.get(api_url, params=params).content, "html.parser"
)

for row in soup.select("tr:has(td)"):
    tds = [td.get_text(strip=True) for td in row.select("td")]
    print(*tds)

Prints:
