      node {
        slug
        kind

The plugin adds additional slug field to both the GraphQL type from the current Blogger url taking the last segment without the .html extension:

https://my-domain.com/p/this-is-my-page-slug.html

Markdown

Your Blogger posts and pages are available in Markdown format too; thanks to Gatsby Transformer Remark you can query MarkdownRemark child type and benefit to its additional fields like excerpt, time to read, etc.

{
  allBloggerPost {
    edges {
      node {
        slug
        ...
        childMarkdownRemark{
          frontmatter{
            title
            date
            slug
            featuredImageUrl
          }
          html
          excerpt
          timeToRead
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Post featured image

By default, if available, the plugin download the post featured image and link it on the featuredImage node field (you might want to disable this by setting the downloadImage plugin option to false) and create the featuredImageUrl variable on the markdown front matter pointing to the original remote url.
