How to get a list of books corresponding to the selected tag in the GUI plugin?

Hello

The user selects the tag by the left mouse button. Calibre shows book list that correspond to the selected tag.

How to get a list of books corresponding to the selected tag in the GUI plugin code to write the metadata to a remote database?

Code:

m = self.gui.library_view.model()
book_ids = {m.id(x) for x in range(m.rowCount()}

in Python 2.7 need to use xrange, but it is not important
m.rowCount() requires two arguments - ???
what is the name of the model class?
what method of the model class will return the metadata for book_id?

Code:

m = self.gui.library_view.model()
book_ids = {m.id(x) for x in range(m.rowCount(None)}
self.gui.current_db.new_api.get_metadata(book_id)
print (m.__class__)
