Airbana Blog

I’m proud to announce that Airbana has released 4 new projects recently as well as an update to the Airsoft Map.

The Airbana Network:

This is simply a merging of the UK, US, EU and Asian sites into one easy to use website: www.AirsoftMap.net. The country specific versions are still accessible from their old domains (www.Airbana.co.uk, www.Airbana.eu, www.Airbana.com & www.Airbana.asia).

With the release of the Airbana Network I’ve taken the opportunity to add some of the version 5 improvements including adding the ability to tag a site as being IAA, AAA or AOBA registered, world wide SMS delivery, improved SEO credit for linked sites, an auto updating Flickr feed and much more.

Airbana Events Twitter Feed

Every monday morning the Airbana Events Broadcaster will announce the next 7 days of Airsoft events. Simply follow @AirsoftEvents to see whats happening.

Airbana Cache:

With the number of free to download Airsoft publications and Airsoft websites on the rise Airbana has taken this opportunity to open up the Global Content Delivery Network that powers its Airsoft Maps to any and all other Airsoft related websites to help them utilise free, fast and geographically localised distribution servers to improve end user download speeds.

As with all Airbana projects this is totally free however there is a catch (sort of); I would ask that if you utilise the AirBana Cache then you let your users know by linking back to the Airbana Network (www.Airsoftmap.net) or place one of the Airbana adverts in your online magazine.

The Airbana API:

With the release of Airbana Network the API has been re-written to make it even easier for people to write their own gadgets or integrate Airbana functionality into their site. The downloadable zip contains better documentation, example code, and the new API Class file.

To get started grab your API Key,download the API itself and read the documentation.

Airbana Gadgets:

Airbana Gadgets is a collection of tools for you desktop or your Airsoft Website and are written with the Airbana API.

The first release is a Site Button that is a small line of javascript you add to your website that will search for your URL in the Airbana database and then display a small series of buttons that will allow your users to get the exact GPS co-ordinates for your site, get directions, the weather forecast or send the information to their phones by SMS for free!
