The answers are all correct, it depends on what you want to do. If you want to access the settings from an extension being initialized, use the from_crawler class method. Here, "settings" refers to all the settings as prepared by scrapy, merged with the defaults and the command line overrides.
If you want to access the settings from elsewhere in some module you can use utils.project and/or utils.conf Note that get_project_settings doesn't merge the overrides from the command line or the json API of scrapyd.
