To cite a website in APA style (7th edition), include the following elements in this order:

• Author's last name, initials (or organization name if no individual author)
• Year, month, and day of publication (if available)
• Title of the webpage or article (italicized)
• Website name (if different from the author)
• URL of the webpage

Basic format:

Author, A. A. (Year, Month Day). Title of web page. Website Name. URL

Example:

Austerlitz, S. (2015, March 3). How long can a spinoff like ‘Better Call Saul’ last? FiveThirtyEight. <http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/how-long- can-a-spinoff-like-better-call-saul-last/>

Notes:

• If there is no author, start with the title.
• If the content is likely to change over time, include a retrieval date before the URL: Retrieved Month Day, Year, from URL.
• For in-text citations, use (Author, Year). If quoting, include paragraph number or section heading since websites usually lack page numbers. Example: (Smith, 2018, para. 15) or (CDC, 2020, “Key Facts” section)

This format applies to most webpages that are not part of other categories like online videos or news articles with print versions. For those, citation formats differ slightly
