Metadata Download - keying off Series & Series_Index

I'm new to plugin writing (and even somewhat to Python though not to programming generally). I'm trying to write a plugin that uses the series and series_index fields to help locate covers/metadata for items. I've been examining the existing examples of metadata plugins, and I haven't seen any that seem to reference those pieces of metadata. It looks like author and title get passed explicitly, but I'm unclear on how I should reference other metadata fields in my code.

Sorry if this is an obvious one. Appreciate the assistance.

IIRC only title, author and identifiers are passed into metadata plugins for identification, not series and series_index.
