You can call functions in Smart Contract via "Call" RPC API. What you can call here is limited to view functions that is not changing any states in the Contract.

Import extend from web3py_ext to extend web3 to kaia web3

Create a Web3 instance with the specified kaia Baobab testnet URL

Also, you can change the provider URL from baobab to allthatnode.

Create a contract instance with contract address and abi

Set the contract address that you deployed in the deploy tutorial (Counter contract). You can see the address in your deploy tx receipt

Set the contract abi. You can get the ABI after compiled in remix or solc compiler

Call the view function. It is just a RPC call to the blockchain node, not transaction

from web3py_ext import extend

from web3 import Web3

w3 = Web3(Web3.HTTPProvider(

'https://public-en-kairos.node.kaia.io'

))
