I am trying to get the nearest Node's OSM id from some position (given latitude and longitude) by doing a request to nominatim reverse endpoint, but I always get the nearest Way. The only reference I get to the nearest Node is its position (again latitude and longitude), but not its OSM id. Is there a way to get the OSM id of the nearest Node to some position? |

Nominatim's database only contains named nodes, or those relevant for addresses. So a bus stop can be relevant, but a park bench or empty building won't. I think the openstreetmap.org website uses https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Overpass_API#Around for the 'what's here?' feature. I mean the pointer with question mark button on the right-hand side of the map. |
