Y axes labels on the right as well in Plotly

Question

I'm just trying to add the same Y axes labels (4040,4050 etc..) on the right as well, on a Plotly chart. To make it simple, just mirror it.

This is a Plotly line chart.

This is quite simple to do on a matplotlib by using plt.tick_params(labeltop=False,labelright=True)

I'm using (import plotly.express as px)

Just wondering if there was a straightforward way to do it on Plotly Line and Area chart as well?

Thank you

Have used approach of duplicating trace and setting it to use second yaxis.

import plotly.express as px

df = px.data.stocks()
fig = px.line(df, x="date", y="GOOG")

# add another trace to carry second y-axis
fig.add_traces({**fig.to_dict()["data"][0], **{"yaxis": "y2"}})
# config second yaxis
fig.update_layout(
    {
        "yaxis2": {
            "side": "right",
        }
    }
)
