Description
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.
