Search for places by parent place

Is there a way too see all places which have a specific parent place, from that parent place’s page? I’d like to see what places are in the region Emilia-Romagna

Welcome @mircogruppi ! So you essentially want to be able to see all the places that exist within a specific region (parent place) right? Lately I’ve been wondering the same for Asturias, Spain, since not all Consejos and Ayuntamientos seem to be defined here yet.

You can use the API /places/nearby entry point with a bounding box that encloses your parent place.
See here for details.

You can also use the older API with the id of the ancestor – https://www.inaturalist.org/places.json?ancestor_id=96905

But note that many people don’t set the ancestor when they make a place.
