I want to create a campaign through the Google Ads API. And I've successfully created a campaign. But when I compared it with the UI created one, I realized that I didn't choose a custom goal. In the UI I'll set it up like this. enter image description here
I can get all the custom goals via GAQL.
SELECT custom_conversion_goal.resource_name, custom_conversion_goal.id, custom_conversion_goal.name, custom_conversion_goal.conversion_actions, custom_conversion_goal.status, customer.id FROM custom_conversion_goal WHERE custom_conversion_goal.name='xxx'
This is shown in the figure below.enter image description here
Now, I want to select the custom goal from the query while creating a campaign using google ads api.How should I write my python code?
Reference document link
Also, I've attached the sample code for the base campaign that I've successfully created, it's not much different from what's in the documentation.

I never found in the documentation how to select a custom goal when creating campaign.and I had to specify the campaign type as DISPLAY. It can't be a performance max campaign or an app campaign. Both campaigns can specify a custom goal. Because it is clearly stated in the documentation.
