Hi ,

I am using the Web Services module to call an external API. I currently have the Web Dev module licensed in Ignition. Will this work, or does the Web Services module require a separate license?

Separate. WebDev is for offering APIs for other systems to call.

Note that you can script calls to external APIs with just the platform.
