100% this. I do a lot of small automations against various API's (or sometimes against systems that don't API's at all) and have used this same workflow many times.

Also handy because even well documented API's don't have examples in every language, but most do have examples in curl. So you can easily take those example curl's and dump them out to something programatic in your language.
