Hello yet again! :slightly_smiling_face: I want to save my stack exports as values / strings in DynamoDB, but I'm unsure how to refer to my outputs. I am exporting values and see them as Outputs, but I don't knw how to access them to save them outside of the stack.
```Outputs:
artifact_bucket_name      : "12345-dev-codebuild-artifacts"
asg_name                  : "12345-dev"
etc ...```

If you're getting at them via a script after the program has finished, you can use `pulumi stack output`, and optionally add the `--json` flag if that's helpful.

If you're getting at them inside your automation-api program, after `up()` has completed, then you can use the `outputs()` method of the stack.

<@U012UJTT55M> Do you have the documentation for that by chance (python)?

Looking now... Python docs are woeful. Strongly recommend using Typescript, if only for the docs...

Here it is: <https://www.pulumi.com/docs/reference/pkg/python/pulumi/#pulumi.automation.LocalWorkspace.stack_outputs>

Hmm.. link says "LocalWorkspace"... that's concerning.

Ah, here's the link to the version for non-local workspaces: <https://www.pulumi.com/docs/reference/pkg/python/pulumi/#pulumi.automation.Stack.outputs>

<@U012UJTT55M> I'm getting this error where it _looks_ like its a dict, but when I go to add it to DynamoDB, I'm getting this error: `[ERROR] TypeError: Unsupported type "&lt;class 'pulumi.automation._output.OutputValue'&gt;" for value "'12345-dev-codebuild-artifacts'"` It's like as a whole the type is a dict, but each individual value is a pulumi output still and not just a string. Any thoughts? Would an apply be appropriate...?

Yes, you might need to use apply. Add things to DynamoDB from inside a loop of applies.
