I want to stop my app from opening a url that may be present in my textview when I populate it with the data I get from api.

Unchecked "Link" and "Address" flag to disable URLs which exist in UItextview, see the following.

You can use this code: 

textView.dataDetectorTypes = []

If you implement textView(_:shouldInteractWith:in:interaction:) of the UITextViewDelegate you can control whether the URL should be opened or not.

Just return false if you don't want any URL to be handled:

func textView(_ textView: UITextView, shouldInteractWith URL: URL, in characterRange: NSRange, interaction: UITextItemInteraction) -> Bool {
    return false
}
