Output formats

This documentation is part of the Use the CLI guide. You can view the complete guide here: Install and use the Stackhero CLI to manage your stacks and services from the command line, scripts, CI, and AI agents.

Every CLI command accepts a global --format option:

• human (default): Displays readable tables and text for interactive use.
• json: Returns machine-readable JSON, which is useful for scripts and AI agents.
• script: Returns only raw value(s), which makes it easy to assign the output to shell variables.

For example:

stackhero organizations-list --format=json
stackId=$(stackhero --format=script stack-create --name="My stack")
