Get results as query and filter

Hello! I really like your plugin. I’m not very programatically savvy, but seeing your plugin I figure you’re somehow obtaining the post IDs of the Analytics top pages.
Is there anyway to get the IDs of the result’s posts as an array, instead of a shortcode?
I’d like to experiment with adding the post thumbnails etc, but I couldn’t figure out how to do it!
Thanks for a great plugin ??

EDIT; Nevermind, I figured it out!

$ids = sga_ranking_get_date();
Just call this and the IDs will be stored in the variable.

I have another question though. I managed to get the IDs, but is it possible to filter the output by category or tag? I know your shortcode supports this, and figured it might be possible ??
Like this;

$args = array(
	'category__in' => '423, 324',
	'post_type' => 'posts'
);

Would this be possible somehow?
