Critical Unsplash API usage update needed

"Hey Peter,

A few months ago, we announced updates to Unsplash's API Guidelines (https://medium.com/unsplash/unsplash-api-guidelines-28e0216e6daa) to require hotlinking of photos and download event triggering in order to continue accessing the Unsplash API.

We sent over a reminder in Dec 2017 and in Jan 2018 to provide sufficient time for all partners to update their apps.

After verifying with our team, your app does not abide by the new updated Guidelines, specifically:

1. All API uses must use the hotlinked image URLs returned by the API under the `photo.urls` properties. More → https://medium.com/unsplash/unsplash-api-guidelines-hotlinking-images-6c6b51030d2a

2. When your application performs something similar to a download (like when a user chooses the image to include in a blog post, set as a wallpaper, etc.), you must send a request to the download endpoint returned under the `photo.links.download_location` property. More → https://medium.com/unsplash/unsplash-api-guidelines-triggering-a-download-c39b24e99e02

You can see the full guidelines and examples here https://medium.com/unsplash/unsplash-api-guidelines-28e0216e6daa.

To continue using Unsplash's API, please update your app by latest Monday, April 16th at 5pm EST, after which your application will be disabled.

Once your application meets the new guidelines, you won't need them to provide us with any confirmation as we will be able to tell if it's done on our end automatically.

Thanks,
