# Connect REST rules

> Reference for the Connect REST rules in the ABBYY Vantage Connector for Pega, which call methods of the ABBYY Vantage public API over HTTP.

The Connect REST rules are the basic entities that interact with the ABBYY Vantage API over HTTP. Each rule calls a specific method of the ABBYY Vantage public API.

For a detailed description of the API, see the ABBYY Vantage API Swagger:
