-You can call the API when the Java agent is not running. The API methods are just stubs; the implementation is added when the Java agent loads the class.

 4. (Optional) If you are using the any of the agent APIs like our [Java agent API](/docs/apm/agents/java-agent/api-guides/guide-using-java-agent-api/) or a [Scala API](/docs/apm/agents/java-agent/frameworks/scala-installation-java/#using-the-scala-api), we recommend you upgrade your API dependencies to the latest version. The newer agent version will still support the APIs, but you may be missing new features. If you're using a build tool like maven, upgrade the API versions to latest. For example, if you're  using the Java Agent API with gradle, replace `${agent.version}` with the latest version:
 
   ```groovy
-  implementation 'com.newrelic.agent.java:newrelic-api:8.10.0'
+  implementation 'com.newrelic.agent.java:newrelic-api:${agent.version}'
