What if I do not know how many times I have to call a function in the node js?

I'm trying to parse a site where data are loaded js script by clicking on the button. I need to write a function that will search for the number of loaded pages. I think to write a recursive function , but how to do it with an asynchronous node js?

var request = require('request');
var cheerio = require('cheerio');
var counter = function (link, i) {
    request(link + i, function (error, response, body) {
        if (!error && response.statusCode == 200) {
            var $ = cheerio.load(body);
            if ($('.b-products__list .main-bigger3').text().trim() == 'end of parse') {
                return i;
            }
            else{
                i++;
                counter(link);
            }
        }
    })
};
module.exports = counter;
