Ajax call back is not downloading my file format

Hi Team

I have this following code, i am using thingspeak cloud API, but if i send this request directly from the browser it seem to work and download it as CVS file. But i want my button when using Ajax call request to work the same as when requesting it to the browser to be able to download it as a CVS file. i am following this link and seem it does not work well and dont know why, https://nl.mathworks.com/help/thingspeak/readdata.html

$(document).ready(function() {

$("#download").click(function() {

$.ajax({

url:'https://www.thingspeak.com/channels/899906/feeds.csv?api_key=***&results=3',

type:'POST',

dataType:'json',

success:function(response){

window.location = response;

}

});

Hi,

Is it CVS or CSV file?

In your link, CSV result is 2 but you are passing(url:'https://www.thingspeak.com/channels/899906/feeds.csv?api_key=***&results=3',) as 3. may be that could be issue.
Your link - GET https://api.thingspeak.com/channels/9/feeds.csv?results=2
