Is there a way to search the api for a TV Show and return the actual web page for that show, for example search for the show Loki:-

https://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/tv?query=Loki

And in either the results or the details get the actual web page address of:-

https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/84958-loki

I don't know if it solves your problem.
The page URL works if you use only the item ID.
For example, the two below lead to the same page.
https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/84958-loki
https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/84958
Then you can search by name or title, get the ID, and build the URL by adding the ID to the base URL.

https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/{TV_ID}  
https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/{MOVIE_ID}  
https://www.themoviedb.org/person/{PERSON_ID}  

The page URL works if you use only the item ID.

Perfect, as you say once I search and retrieve the ID then the url is easy to make. I didn't know you could just use the ID.
