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

1. Watch the Odoo API 101: How does it work and what's new in Odoo 19?  https://youtu.be/MoQf_ADz6p4 [1]
2. Create a Trial database with the App(s) you want to interact with  https://www.odoo.com/trial [2]
3. Get an API key  https://www.odoo.com/documentation/19.0/applications/productivity/ai/apikeys.html [3]
4. Review the documentation  https://www.odoo.com/documentation/19.0/developer/reference/external_api.html [4]
The /doc option mentioned in the video and the documentation provides code sam
