Municipalities returned as cities, but are actually regions

[Tiana S.]

Hi guys,

For example, in the Netherlands you have Amsterdam which is a city, and North Holland is the province (region) it's in, but in between those two you have the municipality of Amsterdam. This contains Amsterdam and some smaller cities around it, and is returned in the API as "Government of Amsterdam" alongside the cities while it actually isn't a city; It's more of a region. I completely understand why you've (relatively) simplified the API for cities, regions, etc. as you can't take into account every country of course, but it would make a lot more sense if the municipalities would at least be returned as Regions instead of cities. Is there perhaps any way to filter out municipalities from the cityCriteriaId dimension?
