Check for reachability of a PostgreSQL DB

We've got a PostgreSQL database online which is available via a url and login. Before trying to access the database using an sde-file, I'd like to verify that the database is actually reachable from my current ArcGIS Pro project. What's the fastest way to do that?

I tested using the actual credentials, but that takes ages compared to checking with a bad login. But the bad login method sometimes opens the default database connection dialog which is not good practice. 

I could verify externally (cmd, python, etc.) but I'd much rather perform the check from within the AddIn. Does anyone know a fast way to check if a given database is reachable?

thanks

If I understand your queston - " Before trying to access the database using an sde-file," 

I would look at this documentation -  
Manage connections to a geodatabase in PostgreSQL
