override func didSelectPost() {
    if let item = extensionContext?.inputItems.first as? NSExtensionItem,
        let itemProvider = item.attachments?.first as? NSItemProvider,
        itemProvider.hasItemConformingToTypeIdentifier("public.url") {
        itemProvider.loadItem(forTypeIdentifier: "public.url", options: nil) { (url, error) in
            if let shareURL = url as? URL {
                // do what you want to do with shareURL
            }
            self.extensionContext?.completeRequest(returningItems: [], completionHandler:nil)
        }
    }
}

"public.url" can be replaced with the kUTTypeURL String imported from MobileCoreServices
