microsoft-kiota-serialization-multipart

What it is and what it does

This is a specialized serialization library for the Kiota SDK framework, a Microsoft tool for generating strongly-typed API client code from OpenAPI specifications. It provides the Python implementation of multipart/form-data encoding, which is needed when Kiota-generated clients need to send file uploads or complex form data to API endpoints that accept multipart payloads.

The package is a thin, focused layer that sits between Kiota-generated code and the underlying HTTP transport. It depends only on microsoft-kiota-abstractions and requires Python 3.10 or later. It's actively maintained and carries no known security vulnerabilities. You install it as a dependency of a Kiota-generated project, not typically as a standalone tool.

Use it for:

• Sending file uploads through a Kiota-generated Microsoft Graph API client.
• Encoding form fields with file attachments in generated API clients for OpenAPI-defined endpoints.
• Building Kiota-generated clients that interact with APIs requiring multipart/form-data request bodies.
• Handling mixed binary and text data in API requests generated from OpenAPI specifications.

Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying

Handles multipart/form-data serialization for Kiota-generated API client libraries, enabling them to send multipart payloads to supporting API endpoints.

Yes, if you are using a Kiota-generated Python client that needs to send multipart payloads. Install it as a dependency of your generated client project rather than directly. It has low friction, active maintenance, no vulnerabilities, and a permissive license. If your generated client does not use multipart endpoints, you do not need it.

Installing microsoft-kiota-serialization-multipart

Before you install

Low install friction with a single runtime dependency. Active maintenance as of 2026-08-14 with no known vulnerabilities.

License in practice

MIT license permits free use, modification, and distribution with minimal restrictions, making it suitable for both open-source and proprietary projects.

Quickstart

pip install microsoft-kiota-serialization-multipart

from microsoft_kiota_serialization_multipart import MultipartSerializationWriterFactory

Requires Python 3.10 or later.

Verify before relying

• Whether this package is required only for APIs that explicitly use multipart endpoints, or if it's a universal dependency for all Kiota-generated clients.
• Performance characteristics when handling large multipart payloads or many concurrent serialization operations.
