Working on a gadget that gets city/town/village/hamlet nodes from Overpass and then uses Nominatim to get the state_district/state.
Is there no better way to automatically get the two top tier administrative levels for each city/town/village/hamlet? |

It seems like the first two queries are working in different ways from one another. The first one is using lat/lon coordinates for its reverse lookup, and the second one is using osm_id. The third and fourth one are relying on the osm_id method. When I used this tool to find the lat/lon coordinates for Pratt, Kansas, it seems to work better for me. Here is what I got for the Pratt, Kansas query when I used lat/lon to look it up. |

Using lat/lon gives me
Why does lat/lon give me this when osm_id doesn't? meta: this should be a comment on baghaii's answer, right? please could you use the "add new comment" button to add it there (due to technical problem I cannot convert it)

I hadn't seen baghaii's answer when I posted this. I'm still perplexed as to why these two methods don't return the same answer. OSM_ID is reccomended over lat/lon.

When I try this query with node 316955993 The result returns the state. So IMHO it depends on the node you are investigating. I found that node ID via http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/details.php?place_id=127699730 (the first link when I looked for Pratt on that website), then I took the node id under the section "linked places"

escada
Your query escada is for the county, my query was for the city within the county. I've filed a bug at nominatim for this https://github.com/twain47/Nominatim/issues/269
