Kiota is a Microsoft command-line tool that generates strongly typed HTTP API clients from OpenAPI descriptions. It supports multiple target languages including C#, TypeScript, Java, Go, Python, Ruby, and PHP, eliminating the need for per-API SDKs.

Use cases

  • generate a typed API client from an OpenAPI spec
  • avoid depending on a separate SDK for every API I call
  • generate HTTP client code in multiple languages from one spec
  • create a fluent API client for a REST API
  • generate SDKs for OpenAPI 3 described APIs

When to choose

  • you consume OpenAPI-described APIs and want strongly typed clients
  • you need generated clients in several languages
  • you want to avoid hand-writing HTTP client boilerplate

When to avoid

  • you need a full SDK with hand-written convenience methods
  • your API has no OpenAPI description
  • you need a runtime library rather than generated code
