How Can I increase the expiry time of Spotify token?

Question

Please advice how can I increase token expiry time While fetching data using spotify web API \"https://accounts.spotify.com/api/token\"

Answer 1

As stated by Michael Thelin, the token's expiration time is determined by Spotify so you just have to work around their set constraints.

That being said, you can anticipate when a new token will need to be generated/used based on the property expires_in which Spotify sends back in the response when you request a token (https://accounts.spotify.com/api/token). The expires_in property is an integer and it tells you how many seconds the token will be good for. As seen in their authorization documentation, the expires_in property is returned with the value 3600 (seconds) or, 1 hour.

After that hour is up, use your refresh_token to request a new token.
