SP Online: Get info from list in another site collection

Question

Hi,&nbsp;I have a site collection that it should show a list that was created in another site collection.&nbsp;All the items in the list will be managed from the source site collection, the other site collection will only show the list.&nbsp;&nbsp;Can this be done with lookups from one site collection to another? or is there another solution?&nbsp;&nbsp;Best regardsAmerico

Americo...if you only want to view the information, have you tried using search and a display template?

Yep, search is a good option here...and to answer the original question: Cross Site Collection lookups are not avilable in SPO Today. As an alternative to search, you can build a custom SPFx WebParts that uses SPO REST API (Search is also an option) to display list items

Thanks,&nbsp;I found a SPFX web part called React Content Query Webpart in the SPFX samplet github which did the task.&nbsp;I will take a look closely how it works to see if I can create my own.&nbsp;Best regardsAmerico
