I have created a list in sharepoint and trying to load in datatable using rest api with search and export option to tranfer in excel file for download. kindly help.

You want to load SharePoint list data in datatable datatables.net ? If you just want to export in excel then you can use out of the box ways: support.office.com/en-us/article/… , or use the 'Get data' option in Excel to load it directly from SharePoint online list. Any other reason for using DataTable?UBK– UBK2020-05-17 15:38:11 +00:00Commented May 17, 2020 at 15:38
