[OSM-dev] OSM API lookups to complement minutely diffs?

I'm setting up a Kafka publish-subscribe messaging system delivering
minutely diffs.

AFAIK augmented diffs are rather an experimental feature and I'd like
to avoid the latency time and blackouts of overpass which runs in same
server. So I'm concentrating on the main OSM API.

Now, osmChange XML like
http://www.osm.org/api/0.6/changeset/42143238/download obviously does
not include all info (e.g. tags) from ref nodes/ways/relations.

I'm not looking for specific info but I'd like to get at least all
data about nodes/ways/relations which are created/modified/deleted in
a changeset.

Is it OK to do API lookups like this
https://www.osm.org/api/0.6/nodes?nodes=59906080,4400821613 even for
minutely diffs? Any alternatives?
