Unfortunately, it is a limitation of the [Fares/GOL] Engine itself as it does not support requests for a specific Cabin Class.

However, you can still retrieve details for any Fare (including any Business or First Class Fare) using the [Other Fare] option and entering the Fare Basis Code, even if that Fare is not shown in the displayed list.
