#> The rank_token is NULL in Rinstapkg's internal .state environment. This can occur if the user is authorized using OAuth 2.0, which doesn't require a rank_token, or the user is not yet performed any authorization routine. #> When/if needed, 'Rinstapkg' will initiate authentication and authorization. #> Or run ig_auth() to trigger this explicitly.
