How to handle if curl request throws error in magento 2

Question

I am receiving a response from using a curl request. But how do I check whether my curl request throws an error or not? because it takes 15 minutes to give a response from API.(but it works fine while testing in postman)

Can anyone guide me to solve this?

public function getDynamicPriceFromErp($sku, $priceCode)
 {
 $url = "https://v3.test.com/v1/test/44gggttfff234";
 $this->curlClient->setOption(CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
 $this->curlClient->setOption(CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 2000);
 $this->curlClient->setOption(CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
 //set curl header
 $this->curlClient->addHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
 $this->curlClient->addHeader("Authorization", "Bearer fhY0eXAigoY");
 //post request with url and data
 $this->curlClient->post($url);
 //read response
 $response = $this->curlClient->getBody();
 return $response;
 }

This is natural behaviour of an API call. It waits for server response. I have faced the same situation. I solved using CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT in my code. This will stop execution after 10 seconds if no response from API. Hope it help someone

$this->curlClient->setOption(CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 10);
