So the forums stop bugging me to accept an answer... The fix was to pre-process the returned data to rename them.

Yes - that's the correct answer . At the moment the server-side processing parameter names are not configurable. Yet...

I found the solution! Use the dataFilter function.

$('#myTable').DataTable( {
    serverSide: true,
    ajax: {
        url: '/api/data',
        dataFilter: function(data){
            var json = jQuery.parseJSON( data );
            json.recordsTotal = json.total;
            json.recordsFiltered = json.total;
            json.data = json.list;
 
            return JSON.stringify( json ); // return JSON string
        }
   }
} );
