Nominatim: nodes displayed on tiles

0
1

Can you advice, how can I filter ONLY nodes which are displayed on map tiles from nominatim/details response - hierarchy section?

This is not possible, because Nominatim does not know anything about the map tiles. Whether something is shown on the map or not can be influenced by many factors, even for example how many other labels there are nearby. These are decisions made when rendering the tile (and decisions that each map style could make differently) so there's no way to do this.

Thank you Frederik for your answer. Can you advice alternative way how to get these nodes?
