Do I need to include a DOI?

Yes, whenever one exists, formatted as a full link beginning https://doi.org/. APA 7 dropped the DOI: prefix used in APA 6. If there is no DOI and you found the work online, include the URL. If there is no DOI and you read it in print, no location is needed.

This comes up on APA 7 Reference List Format, where it is answered in the context of the work itself.
