Formatting using Row & Column coordinates in GSpread python

Question

I couldn't find any resources on how to format the google spreadsheet in gspread python using the row and column values instead of A1 notations.

I have a spreadsheet with 50 rows and I don't want to find the notation of the 50th column. Rather I like to use the row and column coordinates like (1,50) -> first row with 50 columns to make them bold and adjusting the width of all the columns.

Please suggest and thanks in advance

I'm able to format the cells using row and column coordinates using the below function. Accumulated different answers available for the related questions in Stackoverflow. Thank you.

def formatHeaderRow(gs, ws):

    #to change the column width of the specific range of cells using row and column numbers
    sheetId = ws._properties['sheetId']
    numOfColumns = 26 # Keep your column number here
    body = {
        "requests": [
            {
                "updateDimensionProperties": {
                    "range": {
                        "sheetId": sheetId,
                        "dimension": "COLUMNS",
                        "startIndex": 0, #from A1
                        "endIndex": numOfColumns # 26 -> A26
                    },
                    "properties": {
                        "pixelSize": "150"
                    },
                    "fields": "pixelSize"
                }
            }
        ]
    }
    res = gs.batch_update(body)
    
    #to bold the first row using row number
    ws.format("1", {
        "textFormat": {
            "bold": True
            }
    })
