Looker API 4.0 doesn't have the space method instead they added folder method.

Hi Team,

As part of looker API 3.1 deprecation we lost space command which we use in Gazer to take the content backup, we observed that in looker api 4.0 instead of space they added folder method. but in gazer we didn't find the folder method[see below]. is there any plan to folder method in gazer or is there any other way to use gazer for content backup. Please let me know.

example:
gzr space export 1 --host=xxxxxxxx --port=443 --client-id=xxxxxx --client-secret=xxxxx --api_version 3.1

above command is working for now , as per looker it will work until june 2023. because they are going to remove api version 3.1 completely from looker. even now also if we remove --api_version 3.1 from above command, space is not working because by default its pointing to looker 4.0.

is there any plan to add folder command in gazer soon? to achieve the backup task and migration[environment to environment] etc.....

thanks
Siva
