# ConnectApi Namespace

The ConnectApi namespace (also called Connect in Apex) in Insurance Design Advisor provides classes for accessing the same data available in the Insurance Design Advisor Business APIs.

For information about working with the ConnectApi classes, see [Connect in Apex](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.264.0.apexcode.meta/apexcode/connectAPI_overview.htm).

- **[InsuranceDesignAdvisorFamily Class](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.insurance_developer_guide.meta/insurance_developer_guide/apex_ConnectAPI_InsuranceDesignAdvisorFamily_static_methods.htm)**  
    Use the Insurance Design Advisor Apex methods at design time to validate product model setup, attributes, pricing configuration, API request payloads, user permissions, and related insurance configuration before runtime. To use these methods, the org must have Insurance Design Advisor enabled.
- **[Input Classes](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.insurance_developer_guide.meta/insurance_developer_guide/insurance_design_advisor_apex_input_classes.htm)**  
    Some ConnectApi methods take arguments that are instances of ConnectApi input classes.
- **[Output Classes](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.insurance_developer_guide.meta/insurance_developer_guide/insurance_design_advisor_apex_output_classes.htm)**  
    Most ConnectApi methods return instances of ConnectApi output classes.
