If you're interested in a girl but after flirting a lot and hanging out once you're not sure is it a good idea to ask the girl's best friend to get the "411" for you?
Update: I'm not trying to get to know her more (we talk almost everyday). And also I know that the girl and her best friend haven't talked about me yet so I'm talking more about asking the best friend to casually bring it up.

Friends, especially best friends, probably know everything about the girl you like. If she likes you, then they know it. And if they don't know if she likes you, then they can give you hints on how to approach her and what she likes.
In short, talking to her friends would be a great way to learn more about this girl and then maybe you can get the confidence to approach her. Talking with her friends could also help you gauge your chances of success. Good luck.
Why would you EVER need to ask her best friend? You're not interested in her best friend, you're interested in her. If you have already flirted with her "a lot," and she has given you indicators of interest (she flirted back) then just go ahead and ask her out. It doesn't have to be a big deal, just dinner and a movie or something. If she's interested, she'll say yes.
Being unsure of yourself is a mega turnoff for girls. Don't worry about whether or not she'll say yes, just take the plunge and do it. This kind of attitude will actually INCREASE your chances with women as opposed to the "get the 411 first" idea.
