INSIGHTLY_API_KEY. - Note the API URL pod — visible in the same screen as the API key (e.g.
api.na1.insightly.comfor North America #1). SetINSIGHTLY_POD(just the pod part, e.g.na1,eu2).
Authentication: HTTP Basic with username=API_KEY, password=empty.
Pod-specific URL: https://api.{{INSIGHTLY_POD}}.insightly.com/v3.1. Wrong pod → 404.
Lead vs Contact: Insightly has both. Leads are unqualified (no opportunity yet); contacts are people in opportunities or just relationships.
