I think you can't interact with iframe as the only interaction is the initial src (or URL) supplied to the iframe .

"Because of the cross domain security restrictions in most Javascript implementations, it’s normally impossible for one HTML document to communicate with another frame, popup, or iframe unless the two pages are served from the same domain. James Burke came up with a clever solution to this problem, allowing bidirectional communication between a parent window and it’s iframe or popup." Source

You can listen for the iFrame load event and use location to get the value.

var frame = document.getElementById("my_iframe");
frame.addEventListener('load', function (evt) {
  console.log(frame.contentWindow.location.href);
}, false;

This will get you the 'URL' every time it changes.
