Is it possible to set up a REST data source on apex.oracle.com with OAuth2?

I'm attempting to add a REST data source from Xero.com to my app on apex.oracle.com. I've confirmed my credentials work properly when connecting to Xero's Oauth2 api from elsewhere, but I can't connect from the REST data source wizard. I suspect this is because the authorized redirect URI I am providing to Xero is incorrect. I have been providing the URL "https://apexea.oracle.com/pls/apex/apex_authentication.callback" as recommended by this guide.

Is there another callback URL I should be using, or, if not, another method then the REST data source wizard by which to connect?

Out of the box, REST Data Sources only support the OAuth2 "Client Credentials" flow, which does not involve any browser redirects. For redirect-based OAuth flows like "Implicit Grant" or "Authorization Code", there is no declarative access; so you would need to implement custom PL/SQL code in order to get the token. Also the callback endpoint would beed to be provided by you, e.g. as a REST service or an "AJAX Callback".
