The access tokens issued by the Spotify Web API have an expiration time of 1 hour. If you implement the Authorization Code flow you will get an additional refresh_token that you can use to obtain a new access token when the current one expires.

I recommend you to read the Spotify Web API Authorization Guide to get an overview of the OAuth 2.0 authorization framework, and also the beginner's tutorial that shows how to implement the authorization code flow step by step.
