Description

Based on OWASP/www-project-integration-standards#25:

Given a REST call, add the ability to export the results into a google sheets spreadsheet which allows humans to get the mappings into a CSV format. This is already partly implemented (application/utils/spreadsheet.py) but we haven't implemented any API plumbing for it.

In the FE, that could be implemented as a Button (see below).
It should handle CRE pages, standard pages and generic search pages.

Research direction

Start by inspecting application/utils/spreadsheet.py and the existing REST call flow to understand the partial implementation and missing API plumbing. Then trace the frontend pages for CRE, standard, and generic search results, including the proposed export button. Done means these page types can export results to a Google Sheets spreadsheet and obtain the mappings in CSV format.
