Parse post request in Python

Good day! I have trouble with parsing dynamic element from radio stations website. Here you need the name of the current song

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup


songsNameList = []

url = f"https://top-radio.ru/web/russkij-xit"
q = requests.get(url)
result = q.content

soup = BeautifulSoup(result, 'lxml')
songs = soup.select("#se_igra")

for song in songs:
    print(song.find('span'))
    songsNameList.append(song.find('span'))

https://top-radio.ru/web/marusya-fm

The name of the song included in gif format from POST string

Output, that I have

How I can parse this case?

This site uses java script. Beautiful soup is not enough for this. Use Selenium for such a task. You can read more here. https://selenium-python.readthedocs.io/ Here you can download geckodriver for Firefox. https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases Then add to your code these lines:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.firefox_binary import FirefoxBinary
from selenium.webdriver.common.desired_capabilities import DesiredCapabilities
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.options import Options
binary = FirefoxBinary(r'/usr/bin/firefox') #add here in quotes path to your Firefox
caps = DesiredCapabilities.FIREFOX.copy()
caps['marionette'] = True

driver = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_binary=binary, capabilities=caps, firefox_profile=profile,
                               executable_path='/usr/bin/geckodriver')  ##add here in quotes path to downloaded geckodriver
q = driver.get(url)
