How to use NSURLSessionDataTask in Swift [closed]

Answer 1

Updated @duemonk's code for Swift 3:

do {
    var request = URLRequest(url: URL(string: "https://www.example.com/api/v1")!, cachePolicy: .useProtocolCachePolicy, timeoutInterval: 10.0)

    let config = URLSessionConfiguration.default
    let session = URLSession(configuration: config)

    let task = session.dataTask(with: request, completionHandler: {(data, response, error) in

         if error != nil {

              print(error!.localizedDescription)

         }

         else {
              print(response)
         }
     })

    task.resume()
}

catch {
// handle the error
}
