Oh, I see the issue. The HIBP database is SHA-1 hashed with no salt. It was created from unhashed passwords. You can't download the unhashed version (you could of course compute it, if you really wanted to; but there's no need).
So, the procedure you need to implement is, on login/registration/pw reset, you SHA-1 hash the user's unhashed password and do a indexed lookup on your copy of HIBP's database. Or if you don't want to maintain that copy, you can use HIBP's API to do something similar.
