Extract datalayer JSON object from html page source testcomplete

Hi Long time user of readyAPi etc but looking to help out with some automation of the datalayer for my employer. The system testers use testcomplete and I'm just wondering what would be the best way...

    Now doing this should someone come across and need a solution:

     

    function GetDigitalData(){
var page = Sys.Browser().Page("*");
var digitalData = page.contentDocument.querySelector('script[class="dataMapper"]').innerHTML;
return x = digitalData.substring(23).slice(0, -2);
}


function PageData(){
var digitalData = GetDigitalData()
//do something
}

Further to the solution, I have implemented:

function Test()
{
  var browser = Sys.Browser("*")
  var page = browser.Page("*")
  var body = browser.Page("*").contentDocument.body
  var dataLayer = body.querySelector('script[class="dataMapper"]')
  // FOR REFERENCE <script type="text/javascript" class="dataMapper">

  var currency_code = 'currency_code:"GBP"'
  aqObject.CheckProperty(dataLayer, "innerText", cmpContains, currency_code, false)
}

This pulls out the specific innerText of the script class dataMapper which holds the JSON object.

Then use the aqObject.CheckProperty and cmpContains to assert a match.
