Its goal was to reduce the need for a separate hand-written SDK for every API while preserving strongly typed clients, authentication abstractions, retry handling, redirects, compression, and path filtering. The Kiota repository is part of Microsoft's broader OpenAPI and Microsoft Graph tooling work. Its README describes supported generation targets including C#, Go, Java, PHP, Python, Ruby, TypeScript/JavaScript, and Dart, with shared abstractions for serialization, authentication, and HTTP transport. ### Adoption history After the March 2023 general availability announcement, Microsoft announced a Visual Studio Code extension on April 10, 2023. Package availability expanded across developer-tool channels represented in the input facts, including Homebrew, Scoop, and WinGet, making Kiota a cross-platform CLI rather than only a .NET-local tool. ### How it is used Kiota users point the CLI or VS Code extension at an OpenAPI description, inspect and filter the desired API paths, and generate a typed client for an application. This workflow is especially useful when developers need a smaller API surface than a full vendor SDK or want the same request-builder style across multiple APIs. ### Why package nerds care Kiota matters to package nerds because it is Microsoft shipping a general-purpose SDK generator as a standalone open source tool. It intersects with OpenAPI, Microsoft Graph, NuGet/.NET tooling, Homebrew, WinGet, Scoop, and editor extensions rather than living only inside a single language ecosystem. ### Timeline - 2023-03-16: Microsoft announced Kiota general availability. - 2023-04-10: Microsoft announced the Kiota Visual Studio Code extension. - 2023-09-28: GitHub release v1.7.0-preview.202309280001 was published. - 2023-10-05: GitHub release v1.7.0 was published. - 2026-06-26: GitHub release v1.32.4 was published. ### Related projects - Kiota builds on Microsoft.OpenAPI.NET and is used around Microsoft Graph scenarios. It sits beside older and broader OpenAPI generator ecosystems such as AutoRest and OpenAPI Generator while emphasizing request builders, path filtering, and shared runtime abstractions. ### Sources - - - - - - - ## Security Notes broad file, network, media, or database tool signal. - **Geiger risk:** blue / medium - broad file, network, media, or database tool signal ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** kiota - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Other Package-Manager Records - Scoop - main/kiota: normalized package name match | Scoop official bucket manifest trees: bucket/kiota.json from https://api.github.com/repos/ScoopInstaller/Main/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - winget - Microsoft.OpenAPI.Kiota: normalized package name match | Windows Package Manager source index: Microsoft.OpenAPI.Kiota from https://cdn.winget.microsoft.com/cache/source.msix ## Related links - [Secret-risk packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/secret-risk-packages/) - Has protected-tool coverage, approval-gate, or non-low Geiger security signals. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Text processing packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/text-processing-tools/) - Matched text, document, or structured-data processing metadata. - [Developer build packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/developer-build-tools/) - Matched build, compiler, generator, or developer workflow metadata. - [dotnet](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/dotnet/) - Runtime dependency declared by Homebrew. - [swagger-codegen](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/swagger-codegen/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: api, cli, code-generation, developer-tools, openapi. - [curlie](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/curlie/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: api, cli, developer-tools, http-client. - [fern-api](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/fern-api/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: api, cli, developer-tools, openapi. - [graphqurl](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/graphqurl/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: api, cli, developer-tools, http-client. - [graphqxl](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/graphqxl/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: api, cli, code-generation, developer-tools. - [http-prompt](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/http-prompt/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: api, cli, developer-tools, http-client. - [httpie](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/httpie/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: api, cli, developer-tools, http-client. - [httpyac](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/httpyac/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: api, cli, developer-tools, http-client. - [create-api](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/create-api/) - Local metadata places this package in an adjacent workflow.
