Is it possible in APEX 24.2 to use a Friendly URL that includes a unique data-based slug (e.g. company name) for SEO?

KalmanVMay 5 2025

Hello,

I'm working on a public-facing Oracle APEX 24 application that displays, for example company profile pages. For search engine optimization (SEO), we would like each company to have a unique URL that includes a slug based on their company name — for example:

https://domain.com/ords/r/ws-prefix/app-alias/page-alias/blue-rent-a-car

Where blue-rent-a-car is a URL-friendly, unique identifier stored in the database (generated from the company name).

We would like this kind of structure to:

  • Support Google indexing of dynamic company profile pages
  • Provide user- and SEO-friendly URLs
  • Allow sitemap.xml to list these clean URLs for better visibility

Is it currently possible in Oracle APEX 24.2 to:

  • Pass a slug parameter via URL (e.g. blue-rent-a-car)
  • Bind it to a page item like P1_SLUG
  • Use it in a query to load page data dynamically?

If it possible, how and where exactly in the Page Designer or elsewhere should these settings be configured?

Any working example, documentation link, or clarification would be highly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

Kalman Viktor
