No, you have it backwards. If you use the API, you must hotlink.

That's incorrect. Technical Guideline #2 of Unsplash API Guidelines specifically addresses API download use cases.

Nope that’s not what #2 says. They write an action similar to a download must trigger an endpoint, you still need to hotlink.
