Google Analytics API - Website most visited sections

I have generated a specific report in Google Analytics site.

http://www.google.com/analytics

This report makes reference to the most visited content of the site, you can do this by accessing the following section:

Reporting > Behavior > Site Content > All pages

And setting up the metrics to Pageviews

However I've got problems by generating this report through the API. How can I get the same results by making a call to the Google Analytics-API?

In Java should be something like this:

private static GaData getResults(Analytics analytics, String profileId) throws IOException {
    // Query the Core Reporting API for the number of page views
    // in the past seven days.
    return analytics.data().ga()
            .get("ga:" + profileId, "7daysAgo", "today", "ga:pageviews")
        .execute();
}

But I don't know how to define the desired behavior stated above, any ideas?

You should review the full list of dimensions and metrics and decide what combination of information you are trying to request. in your case probably the metric ga:pageviews and the dimension ga:pagePath. the Core reporting developer guides gives several examples of making requests for dimensions and metrics. 

analytics.data().ga()
    .get(tableId,                  // Table Id.
        "2012-01-01",              // Start date.
        "2012-01-15",              // End date.
        "ga:pageviews")            // Metrics.
    .setDimensions("ga:pagePath")
    .setMaxResults(25);

Here is the specific Java reference doc to the method you are trying to call.
