With making a web request, see I would suggest multi-threading as well. Partly for speed, but also to prevent the GUI from locking up.
I heard that multi-threading was bad practice and can make the application buggy, or was it the opposite? I think I'm just going to stick to web development, at least for now. I'll probably do a little more looking into programming before releasing another program.
