Authentication with the REST API using custom OAuth

Description

I am integrating RocketChat in my website for my users to chat with each other. And I like to register my users to RocketChat using the same credentials (they use to login to my website) via RESTApi. For that I am exploring OAuth option provided by RocketChat. As I can see RocketChat provided ways to authentication with the REST API for third party app like Facebook, Google etc:

https://docs.rocket.chat/api/rest-api/methods/authentication

But there is no custom app given here in this list.

However they have given how to configure custom application for OAuth here:

But not sure if and how can this be used via REST API

I am looking for how to use custom OAuth to authenticate with RocketChat via REST Api. Any sample or explanation how to use would be really great.

Thanks and anticipation.
