## Relationships

The Article type represents a published or draft article within a blog. Each article belongs to a [Blog](/reference/storefront/v1/objects/blog) and contains metadata for search engine optimization. Articles can have an associated [Author](/reference/storefront/v1/objects/author) and a collection of published [Comment](/reference/storefront/v1/objects/comment) objects if commenting is enabled. The article's SEO fields provide metadata for search engines, while the handle and URL fields provide accessible identifiers for the article.

## Example

```graphql
query {
  article(id: 12345) {
