Make extension_attributes.xml in vendor/module/etc add this in your extension_attributes.xml file

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:Api/etc/extension_attributes.xsd">
<extension_attributes for="Magento\Sales\Api\Data\OrderInterface">
 <attribute code="your attribute code" type="string" />
</extension_attributes>

Make di.xml in vendor/module/etc add this in your di.xml file

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:ObjectManager/etc/config.xsd">
<type name="Magento\Sales\Api\OrderRepositoryInterface">
 <plugin name="plugin name"
 type="vendor\module\Plugin\yourplugin" />
</type>
</config>

Make OrderRepositoryPlugin.php in vendor/module/Plugin add this in your file

<?php
namespace vendour\module\Plugin;
use Magento\Sales\Api\Data\OrderExtensionFactory;
use Magento\Sales\Api\Data\OrderExtensionInterface;
use Magento\Sales\Api\Data\OrderInterface;
use Magento\Sales\Api\Data\OrderSearchResultInterface;
use Magento\Sales\Api\OrderRepositoryInterface;
/**
 * Class OrderRepositoryPlugin
 */
class OrderRepositoryPlugin
{
 /**
 * Order feedback field name
 */
 const FIELD_NAME = 'your_attribute_code';
 /**
 * Order Extension Attributes Factory
 *
 * @var OrderExtensionFactory
 */
 protected $extensionFactory;
 /**
 * OrderRepositoryPlugin constructor
 *
 * @param OrderExtensionFactory $extensionFactory
 */
 public function __construct(OrderExtensionFactory $extensionFactory)
 {
 $this->extensionFactory = $extensionFactory;
 }
 /**
 * Add "customer_feedback" extension attribute to order data object to make it accessible in API data
 *
 * @param OrderRepositoryInterface $subject
 * @param OrderInterface $order
 *
 * @return OrderInterface
 */
 public function afterGet(OrderRepositoryInterface $subject, OrderInterface $order)
 {
 $attr = $order->getData(self::FIELD_NAME);
 $extensionAttributes = $order->getExtensionAttributes();
 $extensionAttributes = $extensionAttributes ? $extensionAttributes : $this->extensionFactory->create();
 $extensionAttributes->setYourAttributeCode($attr);
 $order->setExtensionAttributes($extensionAttributes);
 return $order;
 }
 /**
 * Add "customer_feedback" extension attribute to order data object to make it accessible in API data
 *
 * @param OrderRepositoryInterface $subject
 * @param OrderSearchResultInterface $searchResult
 *
 * @return OrderSearchResultInterface
 */
 public function afterGetList(OrderRepositoryInterface $subject, OrderSearchResultInterface $searchResult)
 {
 $orders = $searchResult->getItems();
 foreach ($orders as &$order) {
 $attr = $order->getData(self::FIELD_NAME);
 $extensionAttributes = $order->getExtensionAttributes();
 $extensionAttributes = $extensionAttributes ? $extensionAttributes : $this->extensionFactory->create();
 $extensionAttributes->setYourAttributeCode($attr);
 $order->setExtensionAttributes($extensionAttributes);
 }
 return $searchResult;
 }
}
