POI are not all imported by Photon ?

I've played a bit with reverse API and I've encountered strange outputs.

On the komoot instance, only bicycle_parking that are ways are returned ("osm_type": "W"):

I've seen on those line of the Importer from Nominatim that it seems that only documents with housenumbers are imported, does it means that nodes representing bicycle_parkings are not imported in photon index since they do not have a specific adress ? (like this bicycle parking for instance)

I suppose that deleting this restriction would have an impact on the search api as well (and the size of the index) ?

Thanks by advance for the response !

Photon imports only named object because it is meant to be a search engine.

Please have a look at Overpass API, if you need to get all OSM objects of a certain type in an area.
