Request: Article to category mapping

Is it possible to create a function within the newspaper API to get a category for a specific article based on its URL?

For example of a similar form: article_category = category(article_url)

Let's say the article URL is: http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-41355049

and it should return science-environment as a category.
