Get closest address from coordinates using OSM Nominatim
I am trying to do a reverse lookup to get the closest address to a set of coordinates using OSM Nominatim. I keep getting a way instead of a node though, which doesn't include a house number. Is there a way to force it to give the nearest node?
For example: https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/reverse?format=jsonv2&lat=51.989911&lon=4.219650
I am pretty new to Nominatim, so sorry if this is a stupid question :)

What exactly is your problem here? Did you run Nominatim?

I'm not running Nominatim myself, I'm using the service from nominatim.openstreetmap.org. The problem is that I want to find the nearest address to a location, but I'm not always getting a full address. In the example I gave I'm not getting a house number.

Alright, so whats happening is that you're not close to a building. It therefore shows you a cycleway and not a house_number
https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/reverse?format=jsonv2&lat=51.990819&lon=4.220295
Is near where you want to be, and it does show you a house number because you are on a building.
Would you expect a field of cows to have a house numbers for example?

Thanks, but I want to get the closest full address. The coordinates will be input by users, so I have no control over that.If it's a field of cows I still want to closest address, even if that's 10 kilometers away.

Youre better off implementing Notanim yourself then, this is the implementation they picked for you. There are more powerful alternatives, such as Azure reverse geocoding
