The OAuth access tokens are good for two hours.

If getting an application token (client_credential) for accessing public data, you would need to mint a new token every two hours.

If getting a user token for private data (authorization_code), the authentication process will return both a 2-hour access token and an 18-month refresh token that is linked to the user account. When the 2-hour token expires, use the refresh token to mint another 2-hour token.

There are some Python SDKS here:
