AFAIK, Darktable heavily relies on an an SQLite database
$ cd ~/.config/darktable
$ file library.db
library.db: SQLite 3.x database, last written using SQLite version 3030001
Which you may query (and mess up) using appropriate tools, e.g.,
`sqlite3`, see its man page. You will need to use SQL for that, and
understand Darktable's internal database schema. It's easy to get the
images with ISO > 1600
$ sqlite3 library.db
sqlite> select filename from images where iso > 1600;
but tags probably involve a join and a deeper understanding of the
schema. Which may, and probably will, change between Database
versions. So be prepared for your script to break.
Note that you probably cannot run Darktable and `sqlite3` at the same
time.
Cheers,
Stefan
PS: Post here when you find out how tags are stored in the DB...
