What went wrong?

My Cairo contract has a storage var named balance() but I can't access it because that is also a member of AddressAPI.

How can it be fixed?

Have a way to call methods by string name, such as:

contract.methods["nonce"]()

I've run into a similar issue as the above. I am attempting to call the nonce() attribute of a gnosis-safe proxy contract. The safe contract stores the number of multi-sig transactions in a public variable called nonce which clashes with the nonce member of the AddressAPI

Agreed that the solution proposed by @unparalleled-js would be ideal for resolving this issue. Happy to take a crack at this.
