Spotify's access token, has a expire time (3600 sec), so i wrote a cron in each 1h for refresh the access token.

cron.schedule('0 * * * *', refreshToken);

if you want to run this snippet as service, you should restart after refresh token. you can use pm2 package for run it and then use crontabs on your system and restart service in 1h (after the token was refreshed).
