* In the dialog, select the option you need. For this tutorial we will use Google Maps REST service, so switch to **URI** tab. Ready! API has several ways to add SOAP and REST services to the project, you can use WSDL, WADL, Swagger, and even use Ready! API internal browser to access APIs, use REST URI.
