### Overview

Get an experiment's traffic summary: per-variant exposure counts and a sample-ratio-mismatch flag (is_traffic_imbalanced). SRM statistics live on the diagnostics endpoint. This endpoint requires the `product_analytics_experiments_read` permission.

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