Is there any option available in BigFix rest api call to import fixlets data to a new site ?

It is possible, yes. Assuming the site exists, all you need is within https://developer.bigfix.com/rest-api/api/fixlet.html. Otherwise, you can also use a REST API call to create the new site, then POST Fixlets to it.

Here’s an example to Create a Fixlet: https://developer.bigfix.com/rest-api/examples/create-fixlet.html
