APA 7th Edition Style Guide: Websites

Note that the title of the work is italicized and the website name is not. If the author is an organization do not give the Site Name if it is the same as the author name. If the article is from a news website (e.g., CNN, HuffPost)—one that does not have an associated daily or weekly newspaper, follow the website format given below rather than the newspaper example. The APA Style Blog specifies that URLs within the reference list can be "live."

General Format:
Author’s Last Name, First Initial. Second Initial. (YEAR, Month Day). Title of work. Site Name. URL

Organization Name. (YEAR, Month Day). Title of work. Site Name. URL

Webpage with an individual author
