Kendo UI Grid using Knockout and OData export data

I have a kendogrid in a custom widget defined that is binding to a div using knockout and using the Transport as OData returning json.

I am trying to get the data out of the grid to use to export it.  I cannot seem to find the way to get that data out.

Is there a way using Jquery to do this?

I've tried the following:

$("#grid").data("kendoGrid");

$("#grid").data().kendoGrid.dataSource.view()

both give me undefined. from the data function 

Seems like there should be a way to get to it using the observable

Here is the part of my definition :

<div data-bind="kendoGrid:
           
                data: undefined,
autoBind: false,
dataSource:
                    type: 'odata',
                    transport:
                        read:
                            url: userSecurityUrl + '/AccountGroups',
                            dataType: 'json'
                       
                    ,

.........

</div>

I figured it out .. 

 Changed the knockout in my js file to be 

var cagListDataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource(        
           type: 'odata',
           transport:
           read:
                       url: window.userSecurityUrl + '/AccountGroups',
                       dataType: 'json'
           
           ,
       schema:
           data: function (response)
               self.gridIsInCallbackMode(false);
               return response.Items;
           ,

           total: function (response)
               return response.Count;
           
       ,
       serverSorting: true,
       serverPaging: true,
       serverFiltering: true,
       pageSize:10
);
   
self.cagList = ko.observable(cagListDataSource);

Then set the dataSource in the grid to simply cagList

this worked.
