When making ICP mortgage into neurons

https://ic0.app/api/v2/canister/rrkah-fqaaa-aaaaa-aaaaq-cai/call
https://icp-api.io/api/v2/canister/rrkah-fqaaa-aaaaa-aaaaq-cai/call

Would requesting the two links have a different effect

Or you need to initiate a transfer to the neuron account when staking the neuron

https://ic0.app/api/v2/canister/ryjl3-tyaaa-aaaaa-aaaba-cai/call
https://icp-api.io/api/v2/canister/ryjl3-tyaaa-aaaaa-aaaba-cai/call

Will these two paths be different?

Hi @ic_axb

the three domains ic0.app, ip0.io and icp-api.io behave the same for API calls (query, update, read state, status). In your case, it doesn’t make a difference whether you use one or the other.

There is however one difference between icp-api.io and the other two domains ic0.app and icp0.io. icp-api.io only serves the API endpoints, whereas the other two domains also serve the service worker and raw endpoints for the canister subdomains (e.g., <canister-id>.ic0.app).

For example, you can access the IC website over oa7fk-maaaa-aaaam-abgka-cai.ic0.app, but not over oa7fk-maaaa-aaaam-abgka-cai.icp-api.io.
