How can I try / test / evaluate the Odoo API? Is there a playground or sandbox system available?

Question

I am looking for the most efficient workflow to test and evaluate the Odoo External API (specifically JSON) before building a full integration.
Does anyone have recommendations for using tools like Postman or specific Python scripts to quickly verify authentication and simple CRUD operations on models?
I want to ensure I can successfully connect to my Odoo database and read/write records without setting up a complex environment.
Any advice on API testing best practices or links to up-to-date doc
