Dear all,
I'm currently playing arround with the DataTables Export.json Buttons and I get a perfect JSON file for download.
Would it be possible to get the content saved in a variable and not saved to the browser ?
I would like to use the JSON Export to send the data to a RestAPI Interface.
Is this possible ?
Best regards,
David

Assuming you are using the
ajax
option to fetch the data you can use theajax.json()
API to retrieve the last fetched data set.The Export.json button is not a built-in button so I'm not sure how it works.

Additional question, is there a way to export only visible columns ?
Yes, see this example.

Additional question 2: is there a way to create a URL with Column-Name (Header) = Cell-Value
https://www.myserver.com/api.php?hostname=hercules&domain=ramseier.com&ip_address=10.0.0.55 etc ?
for each row of a DataTable ?
Best regards,

You should be able to use
columns.render
for that - it allows you to generate links (or anything else) using the raw data. There's an example on that page creating a URL,Colin
