trial period in Checkout session in Stripe

I would like to create trial period to be used with stripe checkout session:

session = stripe.checkout.Session.create(
            customer=customer.stripe_id,
            payment_method_types=['card'],
            line_items=[{
                'price': "price_1HjynjHdAhQwSUAK",
                'quantity': 1,
                'tax_rates': ["txr_1Hkntg4yXtzmX", ],

            },
            mode='payment',
            allow_promotion_codes=True,
            success_url=request.build_absolute_uri(reverse('thanks')) + '?session_id=CHECKOUT_SESSION_ID}',
            cancel_url=request.build_absolute_uri(reverse('index_payment')),
        )

in the tripe.Subscription.create looks like we just need to add trial_end=1605387163, but it doesnt work in checkout session. I cant seem to find the way to do it even though I am pretty sure it is doable as displayed in this demo: enter image description here

I appreciate if someone can help.

Brendan's answer pointed me in the right direction, for PHP the syntax to add the trial_end would be for example:

$session = \Stripe\Checkout\Session::create([
      .......
      Your Other parameters
      .......
      'subscription_data' => ['trial_end' => 1624110173],
        
    ]);

Where 1624110173 is unix timestamp for the end of the free period. See this Stripe document for general explanation of checkout process and code:

You've got the right idea with trial_end, it just needs to be a child parameter under subscription_data.

// other parameters
subscription_data: {
    trial_end=1605387163
}
