I'm using the 500px REST API in order to retrieve information on photos, and download them.

Using the photos/:id method I'm retrieving the details of the photo.

The endpoint supports downloading the images in various sizes, via the image_size parameter (described here), however the largest image I can get is "2048px on the longest edge" (using the 2048 value).

Is there a way to download the original photo?

Note: I'm allowing users to download only their own photos, not photos of other users...

I don't think there's any way to get original image because if it was possible, developers would have built a web/mobile tool to download full-size images and no one would care about 500px Prime and buy images from 500px.

    Your answer is correct, but your justification is wrong. The question is about downloading your *own* photos, not arbitrary third party photos. In either case, there is no way of downloading the original photo. – user229044 Apr 24 '15 at 15:27
