Dynamic content from table - can't scrape with Selenium

Question

My main goal is to scrape content from the table from this site

polygonscan.com/token/0x64a795562b02830ea4e43992e761c96d208fc58d

For example, I tried to select content from the table - then I wanted to scrape all the data from the table to a .csv file, but I ran into a problem at the start of this task. I tried to select content from the first row, but it looks like Selenium doesn't see any HTML content from the table area. My code below:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.common.exceptions import TimeoutException


# Options
chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_argument("--headless")

# Set drive
chrome_driver_path = r"C:\Users\kacpe\OneDrive\Pulpit\Python\Projekty\chromedriver.exe"
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_driver_path, options=chrome_options)
driver.get("https://polygonscan.com/token/0x64a795562b02830ea4e43992e761c96d208fc58d")


try:
    element = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(
        EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//table/tbody/tr[0]")))
    print(element)
except TimeoutException as e:
    print(e)

and the error I receive:

    a = driver.find_element(By.XPATH, '//*[@id="maindiv"]/div[1]/p').text

Any thoughts on how to handle this problem?

To extract the data from the Transfers table of Token Natluk Community - polygonscan webpage you need to induce WebDriverWait for the visibility_of_element_located() and using DataFrame from Pandas you can use the following Locator Strategy:

Code Block:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
import pandas as pd

options = Options()
options.add_argument("start-maximized")
options.add_experimental_option("excludeSwitches", ["enable-automation"])
options.add_experimental_option('excludeSwitches', ['enable-logging'])
options.add_experimental_option('useAutomationExtension', False)
options.add_argument('--disable-blink-features=AutomationControlled')
s = Service('C:\\BrowserDrivers\\chromedriver.exe')
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=s, options=options)
driver.get("https://polygonscan.com/token/0x64a795562b02830ea4e43992e761c96d208fc58d")
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "button#btnCookie"))).click()
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.CSS_SELECTOR,"iframe#tokentxnsiframe")))
data = WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "table.table.table-md-text-normal"))).get_attribute("outerHTML")
df = pd.read_html(data)
print(df)

Console Output:
