@tall-monitor-77779 I believe there is not an API for Pulumi’s CLI, yet. @white-balloon-205?

was just looking at your github app, seems to be doing something similar to what I was wanting (shows changes etc.) but I think thats closed source?

There is JSON output for several commands, and @bitter-oil-46081 is working on adding more this milestone. That will provide a programmatic “api” to the CLI which can be invoked from any environment. We may in the future add language-specific SDKs to wrap that - but near term focus is on a programmatically scriptable CLI.

Lame as it is, right now the GH app works by just `sed`'ing the output. When we add JSON output to
update
and
preview
the current thinking is you'll get a stream JSON objects that represent events the engine is creating, and one of them will be a summary event that happens at the end of a preview or update.

Note that you can also do
pulumi stack output
to get the full contents of the stack in JSON form (the resources, etc). I realize this isn't the same as the event stream, but may be useful depending on what you're looking to do.

Plan is to complete it by thanksgiving (when the current milestone ends).
