Make REST API call in Swift

Question

I'm trying to use Swift to make a GET call to a REST API, and have tried to follow numerous tutorials, but can't figure it out. Either because I cannot figure out how to translate all the Obj-C to Swift, or because half of the methods n' such are deprecated. Does anyone know how to make the call, and parse returned JSON data?

let headers = [
                "cache-control": "no-cache",
                "postman-token": "6f8a-12c6-87a1-ac0f25d6385a"
            ]

            let request = NSMutableURLRequest(url: NSURL(string: "Your url string")! as URL,
                                              cachePolicy: .useProtocolCachePolicy,
                                              timeoutInterval: 10.0)
            request.httpMethod = "GET"
            request.allHTTPHeaderFields = headers

            let session = URLSession.shared
            let dataTask = session.dataTask(with: request as URLRequest, completionHandler: { (data, response, error) -> Void in
                if error == nil && data != nil {
                    do {
                        // Convert NSData to Dictionary where keys are of type String, and values are of any type
                        let json = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data!, options: JSONSerialization.ReadingOptions.mutableContainers) as! [String:AnyObject]
                        print(json)

                        //do your stuff

                      //  completionHandler(true)

                    } catch {
                       // completionHandler(false)
                    }
                }
                else if error != nil
                {
                    //completionHandler(false)
                }
            }).resume()
            }
