    MyDataList is the json response coming after ajax call..
    actually it is ---> result.MyDataList

    A couple of issues in the code above. DataTables says not to override success in the ajax settings, see ajax, it will prevent DataTables from processing the result (however, your code appears to be trying to add the rows itself instead of letting datatables do its thing).
    Also, the processing and serverSide options belong to the table settings and not the ajax settings.

    "order": [],
    dom: "Bfrtip",
    "bProcessing": false,
    "bServerSide": false,
    "sort": "position",
    "stateSave": true,

        "ajax": {
            url: "myUrl",
            type: "POST",
        },
       "language": {
            "zeroRecords": "No records available",
            "loadingRecords": "Loading...",
            "processing": "Processing..."
        },
        "aoColumns": [
        {"mData": "col1"},
        {"mData": "col2"},
        {"mData": "col3"},

    Try adding ajax.dataSrc to your ajax config. I think this should work:

    ```
    "ajax": {
    url: "myUrl",
    type: "POST",
    dataSrc": "MyList"
    },

    Thank you, Yes, Now on load of datatable I am getting data in table. but Unable to reload the Ajax in every 30 sec.
    Please find my code below:

    setInterval(function () {

            handleDataTableButtons.ajax.reload();
    
        }, 30000);

    I copied your function into this test case:
    http://live.datatables.net/gafexuxu/1/edit

    Seems to work. But 30 seconds seems like forever when sitting there watching it :smile:

    Is the function not running or is there an issue with the ajax request or response?

    When I am calling same function it is not calling my ajax Url again (in every 30 sec),
    I debug my code ajax request not going to my server.

    My Code:

    setInterval(function () {

    console.log('Before Ajax Call');
    
    handleDataTableButtons.ajax.reload();
    
    console.log('After Ajax Call');
    

    }, 30000);

    On console Only "Before Ajax Call" msg printing not After Ajax Call

    Answer ✓

    What version of Datatables are you running?

    To use ajax.reload() you need to be using 1.10.x. If you are using 1.10.x then you need to change this:

    $("#datatable-buttons").dataTable({

    to this:

    $("#datatable-buttons").DataTable({

    notice the capital D in DataTable. This first FAQ here explains the difference:
