Can I use ISSN instead of DOI APA

What if I can’t find the DOI in APA 7
If you are unable to locate a DOI for your publication, you can check the free DOI lookup services at CrossRef which works for all DOIs (not just journal articles). Metadata search is the easiest way to use CrossRef, and can be done by simply entering your title into the search box on the main page and hitting Enter.
