+    The Insights API lets you collect events related to your search and discovery experience.
+    Events represent user interactions with your app or website.
     They unlock powerful features, such as recommendations, personalization, smarter search results,
     and analytics that help you optimize your user experience.
+
+    # Client libraries
+
+    Use Algolia's API clients, libraries, and integrations to collect events from your UI and send them to the Insights API.
+    See: [Algolia's ecosystem](https://www.algolia.com/doc/guides/getting-started/how-algolia-works/in-depth/ecosystem/)
+
+    # Base URLs
+
+    The base URLs for making requests to the Insights API are:
+
+    - `https://insights.us.algolia.io` (`https://insights.algolia.io` is an alias)
+    - `https://insights.de.algolia.io`
+
+    **All requests must use HTTPS.**
+
+    # Authentication
+
+    To authenticate your API requests, add these headers:
+
+    <dl>
+    <dt><code>x-algolia-application-id</code></dt>
+    <dd>Your Algolia application ID.</dd>
+    <dt><code>x-algolia-api-key</code></dt>
+    <dd>
+    An API key with the necessary permissions to make the request.
+    The required access control list (ACL) to make a request is listed in each endpoint's reference.
+    </dd>
+    </dl>
+
+    You can find your application ID and API key in the [Algolia dashboard](https://dashboard.algolia.com/account).
+
+    # Request format
+
+    Request bodies must be JSON objects.
+
+    # Response status and errors
+
+    Response bodies are JSON objects.
+    Deleting a user token returns an empty response body with rate-limiting information as headers.
+
+    Successful responses return a `2xx` status. Client errors return a `4xx` status. Server errors are indicated by a `5xx` status.
+    Error responses have a `message` property with more information.
+
+    The Insights API doesn't validate if the event parameters such as `indexName`, `objectIDs`, or `userToken`,
+    correspond to anything in the Search API. It justs checks if they're formatted correctly.
+    Check the [Events](https://dashboard.algolia.com/events/health) health section,
+    whether your events can be used for Algolia features such as Analytics, or Dynamic Re-Ranking.
+
+    # Version
+
+    The current version of the Insights API is version 1, as indicated by the `/1/` in each endpoint's URL.
