Webpages
This guide is for the 7th edition of the APA manual (2020).
For an entire website, do not create an in-text citation or list an entire website in your Reference list. Only cite specific pages on a website, and if you cite multiple pages from the same website, create a separate entry in your Reference list for each page.

If the date the webpage was last updated is provided, use that date in your reference. You may use a shortened URL generated by a link shortener. Either the long or short URL is acceptable.
