URL issues

Is it okay that the app only work if there is internet connection? Because we need to send requests to the API and fetch data from it. We have tried to download the json file in advance and put it into the resource folder. But there are many problems when packaging the jar. So we want to make the app fetch data from api once it is started, where internet connection is necessary.
