Instasharper: Unable to upload photo: Unexpected character encountered while parsing value: <. Path '', line 0, position 0

I am using a private Instagram API for C# known as InstaSharper, I built my code like the Documentation found on its GitHub but no matter what I do I keep getting the same Error when trying to Upload a Picture. My Code is as Followed: `

private static IInstaApi _instaApi;
private static async Task Main(string[] args)
{
    // Define user credentials
    var userCredentials = new UserSessionData
    {
        UserName = "MyInstagramUsername",
        Password = "MyInstagramPassword"
    };

    _instaApi = InstaApiBuilder.CreateBuilder()
        .SetUser(userCredentials)
        .UseLogger(new DebugLogger(LogLevel.All))
        .Build();

    var loginResult = await _instaApi.LoginAsync();

    if (loginResult.Succeeded)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Logged in successfully.");
        await InsertImage(@"C:\Insta\testImage.png");
    }
    else
    {
        Console.WriteLine($"Failed to log in: {loginResult.Info.Message}");
    }
}

public static async Task InsertImage(string _path)
{
    Console.WriteLine(new Uri(Path.GetFullPath(_path), UriKind.Absolute).LocalPath);   
    var mediaImage = new InstaImage
    {
        URI = new Uri(Path.GetFullPath(_path), UriKind.Absolute).LocalPath,
        Width = 1080,
        Height = 1080
    };

    Console.WriteLine("Media Made");
    var result = await _instaApi.UploadPhotoAsync(mediaImage, "Caption");

    if (result.Succeeded == true) Console.WriteLine($"Media created: {result.Value.Pk}, {    result.Value.Caption}");
    else Console.WriteLine($"Unable to upload photo: {result.Info.Message}");
    Console.WriteLine("End of Function");
}

`

and the Error Unable to upload photo: Unexpected character encountered while parsing value: <. Path '', line 0, position 0. keeps happening on the var result = await _instaApi.UploadPhotoAsync(mediaImage, "Caption");

I've tried everything I was able to find in the Offical Documentation.

Update:

It was suggested by @dbc that I log everything ToString in the Console, which showed that I was receiving an HTML Document instead of the Expected JSON.

<html lang="None" class="no-js not-logged-in ">
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
    <title> Page Not Found &bull; Instagram </title>

    <meta name="robots" content="noimageindex, noarchive">
    <meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-status-bar-style" content="default">
    <meta name="mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes">
    <meta name="theme-color" content="#ffffff">

    <meta id="viewport" name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, minimum-scale=1, maximum-scale=1, viewport-fit=cover">
    <link rel="manifest" href="/data/manifest.json">
</head>

However I have not Managed to fix it.
