Apigee target endpoint timeout

Question

Is there a way to check the target endpoint timeout in the post flow. Basically I want my api to respond with a specific message, if target endpoint does not respond in a specific period of time.

Thanks,

You want to have a look at the endpoint properties reference; it's got a selection of details you can use to configure timeouts.

Particularly, in your case, you'd want to set connect.timeout.millis to something suitable, then handle that error in your DefaultFaultHandler. You can read up on fault handling for more details on customization.
