You can use SP object model, and from SpListItemCollection you can get data table object and from data table you can export data into excel as code shown below
// Load Excel file.
var workbook = ExcelFile.Load("Workbook.xls");
// Select active worksheet from the file.
var worksheet = workbook.Worksheets.ActiveWorksheet;
// Extract the data from the worksheet to newly created DataTable starting at
// first row and first column for 10 rows or until the first empty row appears.
var dataTable = worksheet.CreateDataTable(new CreateDataTableOptions()
StartRow = 0,
StartColumn = 0,
NumberOfRows = 10,
ExtractDataOptions = ExtractDataOptions.StopAtFirstEmptyRow
// Change the value of the first cell in the DataTable.
dataTable.Rows[0][0] = "Hello world!";
// Insert the data from DataTable to the worksheet starting at cell "A1".
worksheet.InsertDataTable(dataTable,
new InsertDataTableOptions("A1") { ColumnHeaders = true });
// Save the file to XLS format.
workbook.Save("DataTable.xls");
