import org.bukkit.Bukkit;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;

public class Example extends JavaPlugin {
    private PlayerPointsAPI ppAPI;

    @Override
    public void onEnable() {
        if (Bukkit.getPluginManager().isPluginEnabled("PlayerPoints")) {
            this.ppAPI = PlayerPoints.getInstance().getAPI();
        }

        // When you want to access the API, check if the instance is null
        if (this.ppAPI != null) {
            // Do stuff with the API here
        }
    }
}
```
