Quick Note:  If you have more than one author, you would follow the same rules for citing print books.  

Whenever you have a source that does not have a specific author, you can use the name of an organization in the author position.  For example, if you are getting information from the American Psychological Association's website (a great resource, by the way!), then you can list the American Psychological Association as the author if none is given. 

Example

American Psychological Association. (2020). Controlling anger before it controls you. https://www.apa.org/topics/anger/control

In-text (Parenthetical) Citation
(American Psychological Association, 2020)

However, if that is not an option, you move the title to the position of author.
