When using Nonimatim browser I can get this kind of view to a city, where also all the subregions to which a city is a parent of are listed (+many other interesting details): http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/details.php?place_id=97761941

I'd like to be able to get this same list through Nominatim API, but am unable to figure out how to do that. All API calls return just a very few details - so is this something that is not available through API? If this is so, is there some other way to get this data?

Seems like there is no API call for this specific output, maybe because it was (initially) intended for debugging.

I don't know whether Nominatim has an API call for this.

But to get the data, you can use [http://overpass-api.de/api/interpreter?data=rel[name=Helsinki];>;is_in;area._[admin_level];out; ]1 The returned XML contains all the administrative units that have a node inside Helsinki, including both suburbs and provinces, Finland and even the EU entry.

Thanks, but the list received through this url is not the same as what I get through the Nominatim url above. What I need is a hierarchical list or a tree through which I could build a structure which starts at the city level, and goes down to different city districts and to their sub-districts. Is there a way to get this?
