Additional Information
Hey @Robot8A , thanks for reaching out here and flagging this potential enhancement. We will discuss with our team how feasible this change is within the current ohsome API.
You might already know the ohsome Dashboard which let's you query OSM boundaries up to admin level 7 and 8.
