Is there a resource like random that allows making an API call as part of a pulumi stack and then durably storing the result for future runs?

You can use <https://www.pulumi.com/registry/packages/command/api-docs/local/command/> for that. It’s not made specifically for API requests but you can run any command, including curl/wget/`az`/`aws` etc.

Thanks that appears to be a good solution.

NP. You might need to use the `triggers` property to control when it’s run.

No, unless something changes - the command itself or a trigger.

&gt; The simplest use case for `local.Command` is to just run a command on `create`, which can return some value which will be stored in the state file, and will be persistent for the life of the stack (or until the resource is destroyed or replaced).

You can also use the standard Pulumi `dependsOn` to link it to other resources.

<@U06PQPNP64D> another option is the `purrl` provider:
