Hi need sample code or wiki/developer guide how to ingest bulk content and setting metadata at single call into Alfresco Repository using RESTFul API's.

I mean to say clearly I need custom document class creation of bulk import with metadata and webservices/API's details to set and fetch metadata.

Please help me how to approach for development.

There are a variety of ways you can load content into Alfresco. If you want to do it with an API, please use the CMIS API. You can get a CMIS client-side library for your favorite language <a href="http://chemistry.apache.org">here</a>.

You may want to look at <a href="http://ecmarchitect.com/alfresco-developer-series-tutorials/content/tutorial/tutorial.html">the custom content types tutorial</a> on ecmarchitect.com because it includes a section on CMIS.
