Flightaware has an API called FIREHOSE that allows third party applications to receive all traffic information posed on their website, and integrate it in their own application.
Would this be an option for skydemon ? To have in navigation mode the ability to receive over the internet (mobile connection needed of course) the traffic ? Rather than using all the pilotaware, stratux, stratus, Ilevil, FLARM , etc...

In theory it sounds great, but in practice it's a really bad idea. Services designed for online browsing of air traffic "live" positions often uses triangulation and other multilateration to estimate aircraft positions, which are often out by miles and miles. That sort of "data" feed is completely unsuitable for any sort of tactical use.
