Citing a website in APA style

When citing websites in APA style, your citation should follow one of the basic formats below.

Webpage with an individual author 

Author, A. A. (Date). Title. Website name. URL

Webpage with a group author

When the author and site name are the same, omit the site name from the source element.

Name of group author. (Date). Title. Website name. URL

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. (2018, August 7). Zika in babies in US territories.  https://www.cdc.gov/vitalsigns/zika-territories/index.html

Webpage with no date

If a publication date cannot be located, use “n.d.,” short for “no date,” instead.

Name of group author. (n.d.). Title. Website name. URL

National Nurses United. (n.d.). Medicare for all: It’s time for guaranteed health care for everyone! https://www.nationalnursesunited.org/medicare-for-all
