How to get id of all cities (provinces) in a country ?

Well normally, I need to search on the internet for all cities, provinces within a country.

Then I search for that name on our site (openstreetmap), after that I click for suggestion to find the ID.

My far purpose is to get Polygon of that region, from the ID by using this link: http://polygons.openstreetmap.fr/get_geojson.py?id=1903516

But I have a difficult time finding all ID.

Is there any api to get ID of all cities (provinces) within a country, or districts within a city ? or a site that can do so ?

Looks like this ID is just the relation ID of the administrative boundary: https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/1903516
