When using the shortcode, do I need to use the primary category’s ID, slug or name?

You can use either of them. E.g. assuming a category with ID 3, slug ‘ground-coffee’ and name ‘Ground Coffee’.
\nthe following shortcode definitions will all work:

[posts_by_primary_category category=\"3\"]\n[posts_by_primary_category category=\"ground-coffee\"]\n[posts_by_primary_category category=\"Ground Coffee\"]\n

Developers’ Notes

If you want to fetch posts belonging to a particular category (or, more generally, belonging to a particular term)
\nyou can use this:

if ( class_exists( 'SPC_Queries' ) ) {\n    /*\n     * Let's fetch 10 published posts with primary category set to category ID 2.\n     */\n    $spc_queries =  SPC_Infrastructure_Container::get_instance()->get( 'SPC_Queries' );\n    $posts = $spc_queries->get_primary_term_posts( 2, array(\n        'post_status'    => 'publish',\n        'posts_per_page' => 10,\n        'post_type'      => 'post',\n    ) );\n}\n

You can just as well pass a category slug or name, instead of its ID, if you prefer.
