Your work left is to "translate" the algorithm to the environment tools provided. Once you get aware of the idea, would be no problem to add PKCE on your own.
Hope this helps.

There is no issue really, FileMaker has the functionality working fine, the problem is that I don't know how to pass the parameters to their function, I need to use OAuth 2 flow with PKCE in order to use it in production. Following some examples I found in the Internet, I was able to upload files to my DropBox but the Token expires.
