How to get textual data instead of charts?

Hi!

I'd like to use the API to display the most popular pages of my blog, but I don't know how. Is it possible at all?

I'd like to get a response like this

<feed>
  <description>
    The 5 most popular posts in the last week
  </description>
  <totalhits>5456</totalhits>
  <item>
     <place>1</place>
     <title>The most popular post ever</title>
     <url>http://myblog.com/posts/the_most_popular_post</url>
     <hits>2357</hits>
  </item>
  <item>
     <place>2</place>
     <title>Think of the kittens</title>
     <url>http://myblog.com/posts/kittens</url>
     <hits>1234</hits>
  </item>
  <item>
     <place>3</place>
     <title>Anyone reading?</title>
     <url>http://myblog.com/posts/anyone_reading</url>
     <hits>578</hits>
  </item>
  <item>
     <place>4</place>
     <title>Foobar</title>
     <url>http://myblog.com/posts/foobar</url>
     <hits>355</hits>
  </item>
  <item>
     <place>5</place>
     <title>I'm out of stupid post titles</title>
     <url>http://myblog.com/posts/im_out_of_stupid</url>
     <hits>27</hits>
  </item>
</feed>

Hits are the number of visits in the given timeframe.

Thanks! I think this should be linked from the FAQ entry about the API. Or is it?

All the functions are listed
