APA 7 came out in October of 2019 with quite a few changes. Most of the changes are format related, with a few changes to references and in-text citation. If you're curious what all changed, here is a quick run-down of what is new:
A digital object identifier (DOI) is a unique alphanumeric string assigned by a registration agency (the International DOI Foundation) to identify content and provide a persistent link to its location on the Internet. A DOI will help your reader easily locate a document from your citation.
Below is a video talking about all the ways to find a DOI. Crossref is mentioned and linked below.
Author, A. A. (Year of publication). Title of work: Capital letter also for subtitle. Publisher. DOI (if there is one)

APA 7 states to not include the database name or URL for articles found with an academic database (the library's databases)
Author, A. A., & Author, B. B. (Date of publication). Title of article. Title of Journal, volume number(issue number), page range.

Individual webpages and documents hosted online are cited similarly to print content. Note, however, that the URL is typically included at the end of the entry. The URL may, at the author's discretion, be left as an active link. Include additional information (like translators, editors, first edition publication date, and so on) as you would for print sources.
Last name, F. M. (Year, Month Day). Title of page. Site name. URL
