+== Calling REST services
+If you need to call remote REST services from your application, you can use Spring
+Framework's `RestTemplate` class. Since `RestTemplate` instances often needs to be
+customized before being used, Spring Boot does not provide any single auto-configured
+`RestTemplate` bean. It does, however, auto-configure a `RestTemplateBuilder` which can be
+used to create `RestTemplate` instances when needed. The auto-configured
+`RestTemplateBuilder` will ensure that sensible `HttpMessageConverters` are applied
+to `RestTemplate` instances.
+
+Here's a typical example:
+
+[source,java,indent=0]
+----
+	@Service
+	public class MyBean {
+
+		private final RestTemplate restTemplate;
+
+		public MyBean(RestTemplateBuilder restTemplateBuilder) {
+			this.restTemplate = restTemplateBuilder.build();
+		}
+
+		public String someRestCall(String name) {
+			return this.restTemplate.getForObject("/{name}/details", Details.class, name);
+		}
+
+	}
+----
+
+TIP: `RestTemplateBuilder` includes a number of useful methods that can be used to quickly
+configure a `RestTemplate`. For example, to add BASIC auth support you can use
+`build.basicAuthorization("user', "password").build()`.
