# Get flag setting for user

`GET /api/v2/users/{projectKey}/{environmentKey}/{userKey}/flags/{featureFlagKey}`

> **Deprecated.**

Get a single flag setting for a user by flag key. <br /><br />The `_value` is the flag variation that the user receives. The `setting` indicates whether you've explicitly targeted a user to receive a particular variation. For example, if you have turned off a feature flag for a user, this setting will be `false`. The example response indicates that the user `Abbie_Braun` has the `sort.order` flag enabled.
