CLI Version (for CLI related issue): v1.3.3

### Environment

### What is the expected behaviour?

### Keywords

It fails with the following error

FATA[0007] exporting seed data: failed parsing json: invalid character '<' looking for beginning of value; response from API:
502 Bad Gateway

/html>
```

### How to reproduce the issue?

1. Choose a table with more than 4k rows
2. Try to create a new seed from this table :eg. Run `hasura seeds create --from-table `

### Screenshots or Screencast

### Please provide any traces or logs that could help here.

### Any possible solutions?
I exported the tables as CSV and manually copied them to postgres. Was trying to migrate/seed tables from production to staging and I didn't have DB access initially, so thought of making use of hasura-cli

### Can you identify the location in the source code where the problem exists?
No

### If the bug is confirmed, would you be willing to submit a PR?
Yes (if hasura-cli is written in a language I know)

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with `hasura seeds create --from-table ` against a table with more than 4k rows. Trace the seed export entry point and the response shown in the issue; done means the command creates the seed successfully instead of treating the 502 HTML response as JSON.
