How to embed date as variable into Google Ads Query Language?

I am using python to execute the query and retrieve the data from Google Ads I am trying to set start and end date as variable and use these in my query.

The query looks like this:

GAquery = """ SELECT     segments.date,     segments.device,     campaign.name,     metrics.clicks,     metrics.conversions,     metrics.conversions_value,     metrics.cost_micros,     metrics.impressions FROM    campaign WHERE segments.date >= '2021-12-01' AND segments.date <= '2022-02-27' ORDER BY     metrics.clicks DESC""" 

and it is executed by Google Function for Python

response = ga_service.search_stream(customer_id=customer_id, query=GAquery) 

This function does not have element params where i could use %s as placeholder in the query and then call it in params regular execute(sql,conn, params[Sdate,Edate] function in python.

So what i need to do is somehow break the query string, and add the dates in between. Something like this:

sdate = (dt.date.today() - dt.timedelta(days=60)) edate = dt.date.today() GAquery = """ SELECT     segments.date,     segments.device,     campaign.name,     metrics.clicks,     metrics.conversions,     metrics.conversions_value,     metrics.cost_micros,     metrics.impressions FROM    campaign WHERE segments.date """ + """>= """+ str(sdate) +""" AND segments.date""" +  """<=""" +str(edate) + """ ORDER BY     metrics.clicks DESC""" 

So basically i am trying to force variables into GAquery by breaking the query apart inserting it and stitching it together.

It is failing because i am not breaking it correctly and not adding it back together correctly.

Any idea how to handle this?
