    You can achieve your output using below methods.

    1. by using Global post variable.

       <?php 
   global $post; 
   $post_slug = $post->post_name; 
  ?>

    2. using PHP

       <?php
   global $wp;
   $current_url = $wp->request;
   echo substr($current_url , strrpos($current_url , '/') + 1);
  ?>

    Suppose URL: https://ww.test.com/test-page/test-post/data-to-get

    OUTPUT: data-to-get

    I have checked and it’s work for me.
    Let me know if this works for you.

    There is a built-in function for that in wordpress: url_to_postid.

    <?php
global $wp;
$current_url = $wp->request;
$post_id = url_to_postid($current_url);
$slug = get_post_field( 'post_name', $post_id );
echo $slug;
