No expert ...

Question: why only get the node when you can have the whole thing? I 
think that just adds complexity?


Me? I'd simply get all of it .. For a way (closed or open)

[out:xml][timeout:90][bbox:{{bbox}}];
(
   way(user:"bobC")["amenity"="parking"];
);
(._;>;);
out meta;

For relations - replace 'way' with 'relation' ...


Replace 'bobC' with the user name that you want..
