Set Variable after Load

Once my page load a unique link is generated through a third party application, I need that stored in a variable to be accessed later.

How do I set the link as a variable, AND how do I make sure it is done AFTER the page has been loaded?

Code generated by third party application:

<div class="_ohe lfloat"><a href="THE LINK TO BE SET GENERATES HERE" src=".jpg" target="_blank" class="img _8o _8s UFIImageBlockImage"><img class="_1ci img" src="https://scontent.ftpa1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-1/p48x48/12472831_1760775617477649_5525707532693192482_n.jpg?oh=32736fd5787e04e6f55aa8eb7ecaa529&amp;oe=59539C06" alt=""></a></div>

To store the href of a link in a variable after page load:

EDIT: Add an interval to get the value if it is appended slightly after load.

$(document).ready(function(){

  var myHref = "";

  // Set an interval to check cyclically for the presence of href
  var waitForTheHref = setInterval(function(){

    // Look for the value
    myHref = $(document).find("._ohe.lfloat a").attr("href");

    // Check if the value is present
    if( myHref !== "" && myHref !== "undefined"){

      // Show it in console
      console.log(myHref);

      // You have the value... Clear the interval!
      clearInterval(waitForTheHref);
    }

  },50);  // milliseconds.
});
