How to get the specific token balance available at a give ETH address using web3.py

I am getting started with web.py. I have a requirement where I need to get the available token balance at a given ETH address(this address is not the contract owner), going through the docs I stumble upon the following functiion :

https://web3py.readthedocs.io/en/stable/contracts.html#web3.contract.ContractFunction.call

token_contract.functions.myBalance().call({'from': web3.eth.accounts[1]})

so on the above lines, I wrote this :

from web3 import HTTPProvider, Web3
import requests

w3 = Web3(HTTPProvider('https://ropsten.infura.io/RPw9nHRS7Ue47RaKVvHM'))

url_eth = "https://api.etherscan.io/api"
contract_address = '0x0CdCdA4E7FCDD461Ba82B61cBc4163E1022f22e4'
API_ENDPOINT = url_eth+"?module=contract&action=getabi&address="+str(contract_address)

r = requests.get(url = API_ENDPOINT)
response = r.json()

instance = w3.eth.contract(
    address=Web3.toChecksumAddress(contract_address),
    abi = response["result"]
)
send_address = "0xF35A192475527f80EfcfeE5040C8B5BBB596F69A"
balance = instance.functions.balance_of.call({'from':send_address}) 
#balnce = instance.functions.myBalance.call({'from':send_address})
print("----------------------",balance)

I get the following error :

"Are you sure you provided the correct contract abi?"
web3.exceptions.MismatchedABI: ("The function 'balance_of' was not foundin this contract's abi. ", 'Are you sure you provided the correct contract abi?')

**Update ** I got rid of the above exception, now I'm getting the following exception :

send_address = "0xF35A192475527f80EfcfeE5040C8B5BBB596F69A"
balance = instance.functions.balanceOf.call(send_address)
#Error :
call_transaction = dict(**transaction)
TypeError: type object argument after ** must be a mapping, not str

If I try this :

send_address = "0xF35A192475527f80EfcfeE5040C8B5BBB596F69A"
balance = instance.functions.balanceOf.call({'from':send_address})
#Error:
AttributeError: 'balanceOf' object has no attribute 'args'

This works for sure as of today:

send_address = "0xF35A192475527f80EfcfeE5040C8B5BBB596F69A"
balance = instance.functions.balanceOf(send_address).call()

you have to see if the contract has the function "balance_of". At the time of executing

balance = instance.functions.balanceOf.call(send_address)

You are executing the balance_of function of the contract, if the contract does not have that function it gives the error

In the last code sample try to modify the second line to look like this: balance = instance.functions.balanceOf().call({'from':send_address}). The parenthesis after balance of are the arguments you are passing to the solidity function.
