Is integrating yts api "illegal" (lemm.ee)

I am the developer of a project with a small community known as Offflix. Now I recently discovered that Yts has an api, and it is too irresistible for me to integrate it into my project as a simple in app click to download any movie.

So, would doing that and making the code open source be illegal? I am not a US citizen and I am not technically ripping movies, I am just packaging yts's functionality inside my app. Would github flag and destroy me repo if I do this?

I think the way lots of projects handle something like that is to add a plugin system to the main project, and then offer it as a plugin in a different repo.
