Need to read EXIF from a plugin

I'm trying to write a Python plugin for Gimp (2.8) that extracts an EXIF value and displays it on the image, e.g. the OriginalDateTime. So far I haven't been able to find anything I can call from the plugin that will read and parse the EXIF data, at least not without going back to the original image file. There has to be a better way than that or finding the EXIF parasite attachment and parsing it myself.

Not in 2.8 (but is wise to write 2.8 plugins?). There is an API for this in 2.10.

I did some digging and it appears I can update my Ubuntu 16.04 to Gimp 2.10.0, but I couldn't find any docs for this API. Could you point me to it? Thanks.

Nothing more that what you have in the PDB browser, but this and a bit of experimenting should be enough.
