The link is broken. Probably this happened due to a change in the domain used. Current documentation URL api.stackexchange.com/docs– WicketCommented May 9, 2023 at 21:33
As of May 9, 2023, https://api.stackexchange.com/docs/sites returns a list of sites. The property having the site name is "name".
