Try using .attr() as shown :-

var url = $('a.restsRestStatus').attr('href');
alert(url);

OR

var url = $("a.restsRestStatus.restPageLink.restsStatusOpens").attr("href");
alert(url);

("a.restsRestStatus.restPageLink.restsStatusOpens").attr("href")

use prop() over attr() in the majority of cases.

prop() is the current state of the input element, attr() is the default value.

prop() can contain things of different types, attr() can only contain strings

var url = $('a.restsRestStatus ').prop('href');
