How to avoid continue statement

I'm calling an API which may respond with 200 response but still not contain the data I want, or it may throw an error. In both cases, I want to give it a retry for three times. I've completed the task successfully but I'm using a continue statement in loop, in case I may get error so I don't want to return response but continue looping. How may I get rid of this continue statement?

const callApi = async (endpoint, commonParams = {}, params = {}, method = 'get', body = {}) => {
  const logObject = {};
  let url = 'https://partner.shopeemobile.com';
  const timestamp = generalService.getTimestamp();

  // Will attach to all requests
  const editedCommanParams = { partner_id: +process.env.PARTNER_ID, timestamp, ...commonParams };
  // sign also needs to be included in params
  const sign = generateSign(endpoint, editedCommanParams);
  const editedParams = { sign, ...params };

  // query string will be attached to url regardless of request method
  const allParams = Object.assign(editedCommanParams, editedParams);
  const queryString = new URLSearchParams(allParams).toString();
  url += `${endpoint}?${queryString}`;

  const axiosData = { method, url };
  if (method === 'post') {
    axiosData.data = body;
  }

  logObject.RequestURL = url;
  logObject.RequestData = JSON.stringify(body);
  let failureCount = 0;

  // loop calling the api
  // This is where I need help
  while (failureCount < 10) {
    try {
      const response = await axios(axiosData);
      logObject.StatusCode = response.status;
      logObject.ResponseData = JSON.stringify(response.data);

      await generalService.insertQueryWithoutID(tables.REQRES, logObject);
      if (response.data.error.length !== 0) {
        failureCount += 1;
        if (failureCount > 3) throw new Error('API Error');
        continue; // need to get rid of this continue
      }
      return response.data;
    } catch (error) {
      // Errors maybe API errors which will be handled by error handler
      // Sometimes errors are request specific those will be sent back to caller
      if (typeof error.response !== 'undefined') {
        logObject.StatusCode = error.response.status;
        logObject.ResponseData = JSON.stringify(error.response.data);
      } else {
        logObject.StatusCode = 500;
        logObject.ResponseData = JSON.stringify(error);
      }

      await generalService.insertQueryWithoutID(tables.REQRES, logObject);
      failureCount += 1;
      if (failureCount > 3) throw error;
    }
  }
};
