I'm using wpDataTables with wpDataCharts on a website, I find that in some specific cases it is difficult to only use the features of wpDataCharts with their callbacks feature.
Is it possible to use a REST API to extract the data from wpDataTables so I can "natively" construct my own graph?
I'm sorry, I'm having some problems understanding.
Your answer seems contradictory to me. I would just need to create an ajax call on my side to get the information out of a table. If that is already how the system is working, why wouldn't it be possible to do so?
Ajax is being used for sorting, filtering, page switching of server-side tables. The plugin doesn't collect data through Ajax calls, but it renders HTML on the page through datatables object. wpDataTables doesn't have a REST API, so acquiring the data through it or Ajax is not possible since it's not created in that way.

Hello again Tibor
I am sorry to disappoint you, but unfortunately something like this is not possible with the plugin's built-in features.
We don't have that in wpDataTables, since the plugin is getting all data from ajax calls, and it accesses our code.
