# Get a metric variant

`GET /v1/metric/definitions/{idOrSlug}/variants/{variantId}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.roark.ai`
- URL: `https://api.roark.ai/v1/metric/definitions/{idOrSlug}/variants/{variantId}`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

One configuration of this metric, by id.

## Path parameters

- `idOrSlug` string, required
- `variantId` string, uuid, required

## Response `200`

The variant

- object
  - `data` MetricVariantResponse, required: One named configuration of a metric.
    - `id` string, uuid, required: Unique identifier for the variant.
    - `metricDefinitionId` string, uuid, required: The metric this variant configures.
    - `name` string, required: Name of the variant. "Default" is the one a metric is scored with unless something pins another.
    - `versionId` string, uuid, nullable, required: The variant's current version: an immutable snapshot of its configuration. Editing the variant advances this. Null only for a variant left without one, which cannot be scored until it is configured.
    - `isSystem` boolean, required: True for Roark's own variant, shared by every organization. Editing one forks it for yours; the original is left alone.
    - `isDefault` boolean, required: Whether this is the variant a metric is scored with when nothing pins another.
    - `createdAt` string, required: When the variant was created.
    - `updatedAt` string, required: When the variant was last changed.
