I'm afraid your links haven't worked. Perhaps you could update the question to provide them.

Which links? Screenshots? This is the request;

var request = $"https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/reverse?q=&polygon_kml=1&format=xml" + $"&place_id={feature.properties.place_id}" + $"&osm_id={feature.properties.osm_id}" + $"&lat={feature.geometry.coordinates[1].ToString(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture).Replace(",", ".")}" + $"&lon={feature.geometry.coordinates[0].ToString(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture).Replace(",", ".")}&class=boundary&type=administrative&osm_type=R";

The image hoster seems to be a bit unreliable. Reloading the images a couple of times made them show up here.

I've changed to host. Sorry about that.

One Answer:

Nominatim can't do that. (The /reverse endpoint also doesn't support the place_id, osm_type, osm_id, class and type you're sending.)

So just to make sure, are there no way get only land area in nominatim?

Yes, no way. Nominatim only returns places from the OSM data, it doesn't change the boundaries/polygons.
