### Overview

Get a metric SQL model. Returns a single model by its ID for the organization, including its subject types, measures and properties. This endpoint requires the `product_analytics_metrics_read` permission.

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