### Overview

View indexed and ingested tags for a given metric name. Results are filtered by the `window[seconds]` parameter, which defaults to 14400 (4 hours). This endpoint requires the `metrics_read` permission.

OAuth apps require the `metrics_read` authorization [scope](https://docs.datadoghq.com/api/latest/scopes.md#metrics) to access this endpoint.



### Arguments

#### Path Parameters

| Name                          | Type   | Description             |
| ----------------------------- | ------ | ----------------------- |
| metric_name [*required*] | string | The name of the metric. |

#### Query Strings

| Name                       | Type    | Description                                                                                                                                                                                       |
| -------------------------- | ------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| window[seconds]            | integer | The number of seconds of look back (from now) to query for tag data. Default value is 14400 (4 hours), minimum value is 14400 (4 hours).                                                          |
| filter[tags]               | string  | Filter results to tags from data points that have the specified tags. For example, `filter[tags]=env:staging,host:123` returns tags only from data points with both `env:staging` and `host:123`. |
| filter[match]              | string  | Filter returned tags to those matching a substring. For example, `filter[match]=env` returns tags like `env:prod`, `environment:staging`, etc.                                                    |
| filter[include_tag_values] | boolean | Whether to include tag values in the response. Defaults to true.                                                                                                                                  |
| filter[allow_partial]      | boolean | Whether to allow partial results. Defaults to false.                                                                                                                                              |
| page[limit]                | integer | Maximum number of results to return.                                                                                                                                                              |
