How can I add keyframes to custom properties with python? Usually, I can use the function
object.keyframe_insert(data_path="location")
but I couldn't find the right data_path of a custom property.

Keyframes on custom properties use Python's getitem/setitem syntax rather then getattr/setattr.
This matches python api, where you would access object.location as an attribute and object["prop"] for a custom property.
So you would need to write it like this:
object.keyframe_insert(data_path='["prop"]')
Note that you have to use " quotes, not ','["prop"]' can be written as "[\"prop\"]" too of course.
I think we have this documented, I'll have to double check though.
