Um, not sure I agree that a view model is relevant if acting as a consumer of an external REST API.
Put another way: it's perfectly fine for entities or regular domain services to act as consumers of external REST APIs, too. What I would do is to create a domain service that actually makes the REST call, so that this can be tested in isolation. That domain service can then provide a suitably simplified API for the other domain objects that need info from that service.
