api4.ipify.org has only DNS A records and api6.ipify.org has only DNS AAAA records, so they ensure only IPv4 and IPv6 info, respectively. api64.ipify.org has both A and AAAA records, which means it will give v4 or v6 address based on preference of the client, which isn't always desirable. Currently, api.ipify.org is a CNAME record for api4.ipify.org, so it is technically IPv4-only.
