Here is swift 3.1 code

URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: NSURL(string: "http://pastebin.com/raw/wgkJgazE")! as URL, completionHandler: { (data, response, error) -> Void in
        // Check if data was received successfully
        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]
                // Access specific key with value of type String
                let str = json["key"] as! String
            } catch {
                // Something went wrong
            }
        }
    }).resume()
