Describe your issue

I used bot.upload_photo() it works but i need the photo to be auto resized so it will be uploaded no matter what thats why i used the API import for it

Thats not how object orientated programming works.

The first argument of upload_photo is self, second one is photo. So you definitely need an instance of class API (not the class itself).

I would recommend to initiate an instance of Bot and use this (as in the examples)

bot = Bot()
bot.api.upload_photo(PhotoPath,caption=IGCaption,force_resize=True,upload_id=None,from_video=False)

Uses the instance of API created within Bot.
