Format for PIN Code

In developing to the Nest Cloud API I've tested access using my developer pin code. The pin code is alpha-numeric and my question is:

During the authorization with the pin code, is the evaluation case insensitive or sensitive?

I.e. is 33HV7900 the same as 33hv7900?

Based on experimentation the :pin_code URL parameter in the CURL request below seems to produce an API access token regardless of case:

Request:

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" 'https://api.home.nest.com/oauth2/access_token?client_id=:product_id&code=:pin_code&client_secret=:secret&grant_type=authorization_code'

Response:

{
  "access_token": "my_token_here",
  "expires_in": 315360000
}

I have obfuscated values in both the Request & Response.
