The url parameter is stored in self.kwargs. lookup_field is the field (defaults to pk) the generic view uses inside the ORM when looking up individual model instances, lookup_url_kwarg is probably the property you want.

So try the following:

class CommentList(generics.ListAPIView):    
    serializer_class = CommentSerializer
    permission_classes = (permissions.IsAuthenticatedOrReadOnly,)
    lookup_url_kwarg = "uid"

    def get_queryset(self):
        uid = self.kwargs.get(self.lookup_url_kwarg)
        comments = Comment.objects.filter(article=uid)
        return comments
