Laravels Artisan::call('migrate:status') as json response

I want to get the migration status of my laravel app in a controller as json response and I try

$migratiorns = \Artisan::call('migrate:status');
return response()->json($migratiorns);

but \Artisan::call returns an integer 0.

What should I use for my case to get the desired response?

The question is quite old but I got the same problem and didn't find any solution so I made a little helper function to get pending migrations on the fly, maybe it will help someone else:

function getPendingMigration($migrationsFolderPath = false, $toJson = false)
{
    $migrationsFolderPath = $migrationsFolderPath ?: database_path('/migrations');
    $migrations = app('migrator')->getMigrationFiles($migrationsFolderPath);
    $pendingMigrations = [];
    foreach ($migrations as $migration => $fullpath){
        if(!\Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB::table('migrations')->where('migration', $migration)->exists())
            array_push($pendingMigrations, $migration);
    }
    return $toJson ? json_encode($pendingMigrations) : $pendingMigrations;
}
