JSON failed to parse - how to retry?

My code:

local HttpService = game:GetService("HttpService")
local bill = game.ServerStorage.BillboardGui

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
   plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
   	local vibez = plr.leaderstats.Vibez
   	local name = plr.Name

   	local UserId = plr.UserId
   	local Endpoint =  "https://inventory.rprxy.xyz/v1/users/%d/assets/collectibles"

   	local Success, Result = pcall(HttpService.GetAsync, HttpService, Endpoint:format(UserId))
   	local Response = HttpService:JSONDecode(Result)

   	local TotalRap = 0
   	for i, Asset in pairs(Response.data) do
   		if Asset then
   			TotalRap += Asset.recentAveragePrice
   		else
   			TotalRap = 0
   		end
   	end

   	print(TotalRap)
   	local copy = bill:Clone()
   	copy.Username.Text = name
   	copy.Stats.Text = vibez.Value.." Vibez".." - "..TotalRap.." RAP"
   	copy.Parent = plr.Character.Head

   end)
end)

Sometimes when a player has 0 rap or just sometimes in general it says “JSON failed to parse” and it makes it so the whole entire tag doesn’t work. Is there a method so I can retry if it fails to parse or to detect if it fails to parse?

By the way this is a username tag and it looks like this:

local Success, Result, Response
local Count = 0

repeat
     Success, Result = pcall(HttpService.GetAsync, HttpService, Endpoint:format(UserId))
     Count += 1
     wait(0.25)
until Success or Count > 5

if Success then
     Result = HttpService:JSONDecode(Result)
else
     print("Failed")
end

Can you put it in the entire code? Because I don’t know exactly where to put that or if I’m supposed to be replacing anything, I tried implementing it with the knowledge I know in game and it ended with this.image

Made a slight typo with my previous reply, which was probably why you were getting an error.
