Maybe the section on *Outputs* will be helpful here <https://pulumi.io/reference/programming-model.html#outputs>

<@UE1LN7A22> Would you be able to help with that?

```pulumi stack output --json &gt; output.json```
<https://pulumi.io/reference/programming-model.html#stack-outputs>

<@UEEUJNR9B> the documentation above tells you more or less how to do this.

It is very hard in general to understand your errors when you don’t tell us what you’ve written or what you did. :slightly_smiling_face:

<@UBAJ7TD53> How do I get the output within the pulumi code?

Again, it is hard to know where you went wrong when you don’t tell us what you’ve written or tried.

The docs above _do_ cover how to do this programmatically.

If you did something different from that, but don’t tell us what, we are probably not going to be able to help you.

```
import * as pulumi from '@pulumi/pulumi';
import * as gcp from '@pulumi/gcp';

// Create a GCP resource (Storage Bucket)
const bucket = new gcp.storage.Bucket('my-bucket');

// Export the DNS name of the bucket
export const bucketName = bucket.url;

console.log(pulumi.output(bucket).apply(s =&gt; s));
```

Here is the sample code. I want a properly serialized output  of `bucket`

Instead of it being  ```pulumi:pulumi:Stack (testingpulumioutput-dev):
    Output {
      __pulumiOutput: true,
      isKnown: Promise { &lt;pending&gt; },
      resources: [Function],
      promise: [Function],
      apply: [Function],
      get: [Function] }```

<@UEEUJNR9B> that does not look like the examples in the docs, right?

Yes, I want a way to serialize. Let me know how I can do that.

<@UEEUJNR9B> , in your code above you're already doing this. 

<@UEEUJNR9B> Right? What does this code do? And how would it change if you omitted the `.url`?

```
export const bucketName = bucket.url;
```

Compare that with what you’ve written here:

```
console.log(pulumi.output(bucket).apply(s =&gt; s));
```

`pulumi.output` returns an `Output&lt;Bucket&gt;`, which is what is getting printed above. That is not what you want, right?

Whereas the argument `s` is of type `Bucket`, right?

So if you want to print a `Bucket` type, where should you put the `console.log`
