Google Docs API : How to update alignment of the table?

Question

I have a Table in the google docs and want to change its alignment to -0.71 but i do not see any Python API to change table properties. This can be done easily using following UI on google UI (as shown below):

I also tries looking at following requests but could not find it:

updateTableColumnProperties
updateTableCellStyle

For debugging, i created a doc with mentioned alignment and tried dumping JSON of it. But i do not see alignment keyword in the JSON.

Thanks @jescanellas for reply.

I found a hack, this may not be the best solution but works.

1) Update paragraph style and set the indentation, alignment as required. Here the start_idx is the index where table needs to be created.

request = [{
     'updateParagraphStyle': {
         'paragraphStyle': {
             'namedStyleType': 'HEADING_5',
             'direction': 'LEFT_TO_RIGHT',
             'alignment': 'START',
             'indentFirstLine': {
                 'magnitude': -51.839999999999996,
                 'unit': 'PT'
             },
             'indentStart': {
                 'magnitude': -51.839999999999996,
                 'unit': 'PT'
             },
         },
         'fields': '*',
         'range': {
               'startIndex': start_idx,
               'endIndex':  end_idx
         }
     }
 }]

2) Create the table, it will get created at new indented place.

request = [{
       'insertTable': {
           'rows': 1,
           'columns': 1,
           'location': {
             'segmentId':'',
             'index': start_idx
           }
       },
   }]
