Comment:

 The parameters are case-sensitive 'postalcode' works, 'postalCode' is
 silently ignored by Nominatim.

 The reason the first query does not work is that post code 4000 does not
 yet seem to be mapped for Basel (or wasn't 2 years ago, the postcode data
 is only partially updated), so Nominatim cannot find a match for the
 query. Second query just looks for Basel and that works fine.
