                $result = curl_exec($ch);
                $result = json_decode($result, true);
                print_r ($result);

Not sure what that issue could be but on a side note, if you're using this in a laravel app, I would consider using the Guzzle client instead of using curl directly, see the docs — Wesley Smith

You might try running print_r ($result); before the json_decode, it could be that you are getting a response but its not valid JSON or there's something in the JSON causing a parsing error. — Wesley Smith

try to catch error if (curl_errno($ch)) { $error_msg = curl_error($ch); } — user969068

when dealing with curl always start by debugging errors, which you can enable like

$result = curl_exec($ch); 
if (curl_errno($ch)) {     
   $error_msg = curl_error($ch); 
   echo $error_msg; 
}

and as you mentioned in comment, you received below error after adding above code:

could not load PEM client certificate, OpenSSL error error:02001002:system library:fopen:No such file or directory, (no key found, wrong pass phrase, or wrong file format?)

It clearly indicate it can't find your certificate files, update path to those files in your call , like if your certificates are in directory /var/www/certificate/, your code would be

        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSLCERT, '/var/www/certificate/crt.crt');
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSLKEY, '/var/www/certificate/key.key');

and make sure cert files are readable by setting proper permissions.

p.s you can also use Laravel helpers to get the path

base_path();    // '/var/www/mysite'
app_path();     // '/var/www/mysite/app'
storage_path(); // '/var/www/mysite/storage'

so you call will contain like

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSLCERT, base_path().'/certificate/crt.crt');
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSLKEY, base_path().'/certificate/key.key');
