Algolia not handle ORs of ANDs filter condition

Am using Algolia for search engine and I would like to fetch result from algolia as follows

  1. If visibility = everyone, then it will show to all users

  2. If visibility = private, then it will only for logged in user

To achieve that, i tried

filter="visibility:everyone" OR  ("visibility:me" AND "user.username:testuser")

But it return below error

{
  "message": "filters: filter (X AND Y) OR Z is not allowed, only (X OR Y) AND Z is allowed",
  "status": 400
}

How can i alter the condition to achieve above scenario?

Any help will appreciate and thank in advance.

try changing And Gate to OR Gate by two times implementing NOT for your case

NOT ("visibility:everyone" AND (NOT "visibility:me" OR NOT "user.username:testuser"))

The condition can be simplified to 

filter="visibility:everyone" OR "user.username:testuser"

which works with Algolia.

P.S. To make it more secure specify the filters directly to a secured API key and don't send it directly with a query.
