You can leverage the HttpClientAccessor to obtain a client for your target system and then perform a simple head request towards the service:

final HttpClient httpClient = HttpClientAccessor.getHttpClient(
                 DestinationAccessor.getDestination("MyDestination").asHttp());

final HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(
                 new HttpHead(BusinessPartnerService.DEFAULT_SERVICE_PATH));

assertThat(response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode()).isEqualTo(HttpStatus.SC_OK);

Here I took the BusinessPartnerService of S/4HANA Cloud as an example.

Is it like a check server availability ping or what do you mean by ping API?

You can use any operation like getAll() or getByKey() to implement a "ping". It very much depends on your knowledge of the service to identify which exact operation to use to make sure the service behaves as you'd expect.

Do you have a certain OData protocol feature in mind that would help to solve your problem, by the way?

You can find more details on the OData client capabilities here. Also, take a look at connectivity options.

If you explain more behind what you call ping we might suggest a bit more ideas. It overall seems like the task is beyond what the SDK should do, but more of an implementation detail of certain service infrastructure.
