# Get report settings for an experience

Retrieves the specific reporting settings for an experience. This includes configurations like confidence level,
statistical methodology (Frequentist/Bayesian), MAB strategy, primary metric, and outlier detection rules.
These settings govern how experiment results are calculated and displayed.
The Knowledge Base article "Experiment Report" (Stats Settings section) covers these.

The REST API is\nan interface for managing and extending functionality of Convert. For\nexample, instead of creating and maintaining projects using the Convert\nExperiences web dashboard you can create an experiment programmatically.\nAdditionally, if you prefer to run custom analysis on experiment results you\ncan leverage the API to pull data from Convert Experiences into your own\nworkflow. If you do not have a Convert account already, sign up for a free\ndeveloper account at https://www.convert.com/api/.\n\n*[Convert API V1](/doc/v1) is still available and documentation can be found [here](/doc/v1) but using it is highly discouraged\nas it will be phased out in the future*\n",
