How do I request the number of number views to publish in Wordpress JetPack?

Question

I use JetPack statistics to keep track of my blog statistics. I would like to extract the 10 most popular posts for a given period (like last month).

I used the WordPress plugin API that worked well, but after upgrading to JetPack it no longer works.

Is there an API that allows me to request the number of view views for a message?

Inside the database

This option is written to the database and used by toolbar widgets:

get_option( 'stats_cache' ); 

It returns an array like this:

 array( ['7375996b7a989f95a6ed03ca7c899b1f'] => array( [1353440532] => array( [0] => array( ['post_id'] => 0 ['post_title'] => 'Home page' ['post_permalink'] => 'http://www.example.com/' ['views'] => 1132 ) [1] => array( ['post_id'] => 4784 ['post_title'] => 'Hello World!' ['post_permalink'] => ['views'] => 493 ) /* till item [9] */ 

WordPress.com request

You can call the following Jetpack function:

 if( function_exists( 'stats_get_csv' ) ) { $top_posts = stats_get_csv( 'postviews', 'period=month&limit=30' ); } 

What returns:

 array( [0] => array( ['post_id'] => 0 ['post_title'] => 'Home page' ['post_permalink'] => 'http://www.example.com/' ['views'] => 6806 ) [1] => array( ['post_id'] => 8005 ['post_title'] => 'Hello World!' ['post_permalink'] => ['views'] => 1845 ) /* till item [29] */ 

Get_stats_csv function

^{/plugins/jetpack/modules/stats.php}

The get_stats_csv function calls http://stats.wordpress.com/csv.php . If we visit this address, we will get this answer:
