Thanks, it's working. What would be a "professional" approach if I want to
constantly call a URL to get it's content and access this data within the
GUI?

I mean, when I run the program I'm locked in the app.exec_() continuous
loop right? So I can't have a loop to get this data from the web, is there
any special signal/slot regarding this?
