I am calling external rest service from dreamfactory. Firstly, I created new Service and Configure all parameters requires for Remote Service in Service Tab and after saving it. It is not showing in API Docs tab.  
I followed this link [https://www.dreamfactory.com/features/external-integration](https://www.dreamfactory.com/features/external-integration)

Also, I looked on Dreamfactory Remote Web Services tutorial i.e [https://wiki.dreamfactory.com/DreamFactory/Features/RemoteWebServices](https://wiki.dreamfactory.com/DreamFactory/Features/RemoteWebServices) but it does not contain any information basically not updated.

Help please.

Can you share more details on how you are calling these external services? Any details and screen shots may help us diagnose an error in your steps. Are you getting any error messages?

So you did use this resource: [https://blog.dreamfactory.com/blog/bid/326051/Adding-a-Remote-Web-Service-to-Your-DSP](https://blog.dreamfactory.com/blog/bid/326051/Adding-a-Remote-Web-Service-to-Your-DSP)? [quote=“aamir\_rais, post:1, topic:3010”]
