# ConnectApi (Connect in Apex): New and Changed Classes and Enums

Create custom experiences in Salesforce using Connect in Apex.

Many Connect REST API resource actions are exposed as static methods on Apex classes in the `ConnectApi` namespace. These methods use other `ConnectApi` classes to input and return information. The `ConnectApi` namespace is referred to as _Connect in Apex._

- **[ConnectApi Rate Limit Changes](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=release-notes.rn_connect_in_apex_rate_limits.htm&release=262.0.0&type=5)**  
    To avoid potentially restrictive per user, per namespace, per hour ConnectApi rate limits, we migrated orgs to the per org, per 24-hour Salesforce Platform API rate limit. Only method calls that require Chatter are subject to the per user, per namespace, per hour rate limit.
- **[New Connect in Apex Classes](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=release-notes.rn_connect_in_apex_classes.htm&release=262.0.0&type=5)**  
    These classes are new.
- **[Changed Connect in Apex Output Classes](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=release-notes.rn_connect_in_apex_output_classes.htm&release=262.0.0&type=5)**  
    These output classes have changes.
- **[Changed Connect in Apex Enums](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=release-notes.rn_connect_in_apex_enums.htm&release=262.0.0&type=5)**  
    These enums have changes.
