I think maybe you're thinking about the "threads" list/page:

- https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=Retr0id - Works

- https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=retr0id - Doesn't work

Which somehow I guess the API is using.

Possibly, although according to this[0] the main profile URL used to be case-sensitive too. It must've changed recently, but I have no idea when.
