How to cite a website with no date apa

If there is no date use 'n.d.' (for 'no date') in both the in text citation and the reference list.

In text:

In the late 1950s, white Australians became more aware of indigenous living conditions reported in the news (National Museum Australia, n.d.).

The civil rights movements started to gain momentum in Australia as "events in the late 1950s brought the sufferings of the few into the living rooms of the many" (National Museum Australia, n.d.).

In the reference list:

National Museum of Australia. (n.d.). The fight for civil rights. https://indigenousrights.net.au/civil_rights

Regarding reference list order:

If you have several works by the same author, and one of the works has no date but the other works are dated, (n.d.) is treated as the oldest work for ordering your references

If you have multiple citations from the same author which also do not have a date, you will follow the same instructions as you would if there was a date: order the citations in your reference list alphabetically by title, and place an "a", "b", etc after the date.

National Museum of Australia (n.d.-a). Nelson the Newfoundland's dog collar. https://www.nma.gov.au/explore/collection/highlights/nelson-the-newfoundlands-dog-collar

National Museum of Australia. (n.d.-b). Newcastle bakery cart. https://www.nma.gov.au/explore/collection/highlights/newcastle-bakery-cart

Using n.d. for open-dated sources:

In APA 7th edition, it is recommended to use n.d. for sources that are constantly changing, such as social media pages and updating services. When using n.d., for open-dated sources you will need to included a "Retrieved" date.

E.g.:

James Cook University Library [JCU Library]. (n.d.). Library and Information Services [Facebook page]. Facebook. Retrieved June 11, 2019, from https://www.facebook.com/JCULibrary

Most items you find in print or in the library's online databases will have a date. But when you are using material from websites, there may not be one.

If there is definitely no date posted or date updated, APA uses the abbreviation n.d. (short for "no date") in the parenthesis where the date would normally go in your citation: (n.d.) 

But first please make sure there really is no date. Blog posts are usually dated near the top of the article; so are news items or events listings. Online magazines, newspapers, and reports should have dates also.

Webpages with reliable information usually have a "date updated", so you know whether the facts are current, or may have changed. If it's not near the top of the article, scroll down to the bottom of the page, or the bottom of the whole topic if it goes on for multiple pages. 

APA Example Reference with no date:

Author, A. (n.d.). Title of document [such as article, book chapter, webpage]. Title of where it is found [such as magazine, journal, book or website]. http://URL 

Bear, Y. (n.d.). I'm smarter than the average bear! Yellowstone Park Stories. http://yellowstone.com/YogiBear1....

In-Text Citation:  n.d. is also used in the in-text citation after the author.

(Author, n.d.); (Bear, n.d.)

Retrieval Dates (Accession Dates):

APA recommends including a retrieval date (accession date or the date you saw the material) only if an online work is not archived and it's likely to change over time. Most references do not need retrieval dates, but you may want to do it when there is no date on a webpage, or on pages that frequently change, like Census pages or COVID-19 statistics or company webpages. Here's an example from the APA Style website:

APA Sample Reference with Retrieval date:
When a retrieval date is needed, use the following format for it, as the last line of your full reference: 
Retrieved Month dd, yyyy, from URL 

U.S. Census Bureau. (n.d.). U.S. and world population clock. U.S. Department of Commerce.
Retrieved January 9, 2020, from https://www.census.gov/popclock/

The in-text citation remains the same: (U.S. Census Bureau, n.d.)

Citing webpages

It is always important to validate a website before using it in your academic work. For more information visit http://guides.library.lincoln.ac.uk/learningdevelopment

• If a website does not have an obvious author, you can often find more information in the ‘About us’ section.
• When possible, include the year, month, and date in references. If the month and date are not available or if the website is not updated regularly, use the year of publication only. 
• If you refer to an entire professional website, you do not need to include an entry in the reference list. You must identify the title of the source clearly in the text of your paper (capitalised but without special punctuation) and provide the electronic address in brackets.
• However, when you cite a particular document or piece of information from a website include both a reference list entry and an in-text citation. 
• When citing sources that you find on the Internet you only need to include a retrieval date if the information you viewed is likely to change over time.  If you reference an article from a wiki, for example, you would want to include a retrieval date because information in a wiki can be subject to a lot of change.
