### Overview

Request a results refresh for one experiment. HTTP 202 confirms acceptance, not completed results. The response identifies the experiment and does not include a job ID. Read experiment results to check freshness. A request while a refresh is queued or running returns 409. After completion, another request can start another refresh. This endpoint requires the `product_analytics_experiments_write` permission.

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