How to list all existent package groups? [SOLVED]

Hello to you,

Aside from scraping the web page that has the list of package groups is there any way to list all package groups that exist?  I mean how to do this using a cli without using curl or wget, etc to retrieve the contents of https://archlinux.org/groups/ and parse that.

Thanks

SYNC OPTIONS (APPLY TO -S)
[...]
       -g, --groups
           Display all the members for each package group specified. If no group names are provided, all groups will
           be listed; pass the flag twice to view all groups and their members.
