Unable to filter by type, how should I do?

Have you read a contributing guide?

• I have read CONTRIBUTING.md
• I have searched the existing issues and didn't find any that were similar
• I have considered creating a pull request with fixes instead of a bug report and want to proceed

Current Behavior

I'm trying communicate with my desktop instance of anytype using grpc-js, here is my current code :

import grpc from '@grpc/grpc-js';
import * as loader from "@grpc/proto-loader";
import * as util from "node:util";
// import prompt from "prompt-sync";

const packageDefinition = loader.loadSync('protobuf/protos/service.proto', {
    keepCase: true,
    longs: String,
    enums: String,
    defaults: true,
    oneofs: true
});

const APP_KEY ='XXXX'
const protoDescriptor = grpc.loadPackageDefinition(packageDefinition);
const grpcClient = new protoDescriptor.anytype.ClientCommands('localhost:34075', grpc.credentials.createInsecure());
const call = (call, input) => util.promisify(call).call(grpcClient, input);

//const newChallenge = await call(grpcClient.AccountLocalLinkNewChallenge, {appName: 'test'});
//const inputToken = prompt()('Enter the token: ');
//const solvedChallenge = await call(grpcClient.AccountLocalLinkSolveChallenge, {challengeId: newChallenge.challengeId, answer: inputToken});
//const sessionToken = solvedChallenge.sessionToken;
const sessionToken = await call(grpcClient.WalletCreateSession, {appKey: APP_KEY}).then((res) => res.token);

const metadata = new grpc.Metadata();
metadata.add('token', sessionToken);

grpcClient.ObjectSearchWithMeta({objectTypeFilter: "_otobjectType"}, metadata, (err, response) => {
    if (err) {
        console.error(err);
        return;
    }

    console.log(response)
})

As you can guess, for now I'm just trying to get all the avaiables Types, but this does not work and it returns all the objects. How am I supposed to filter for the objects? I tried reading the doc on anytype.model.Block.Content.Dataview.Filter but it is not clear enough for me (and ChatGPT) to write the right code.

Expected Behavior

It should send me back all the blocks of the type _otobjectType

Steps To Reproduce

1. Install AnyType
2. Run the code in the current behavior section

Anything else?

PS : I tried to filter the Type objects from the list of all the objects it returned me, but _otobjectType only corresponds to the built-in AnyType Types, I had to search a bit through the data and found that all the types I created have a fields.type.stringValue of "bafyreicyeglwtj3ihj66wgf3kx4agh2uk2u3lpzfonprl6nvnfmkmyga6q", I don't really understand why... Hope y'all will be able to help me :)

Filter by layout, it's easier that finding type id.

https://github.com/anyproto/anytype-ts/blob/main/src/ts/interface/object.ts

export enum ObjectLayout {
	Page		 = 0,
	Human		 = 1,
	Task		 = 2,
	Set			 = 3,
	Type		 = 4,
	Relation	 = 5,
	File		 = 6,
	Dashboard	 = 7,
	Image		 = 8,
	Note		 = 9,
	Space		 = 10,
	Bookmark	 = 11,
	OptionList	 = 12,
	Option		 = 13,
	Collection	 = 14,
	Audio		 = 15,
	Video		 = 16,
	Date		 = 17,
	SpaceView	 = 18,
	Participant	 = 19,
	Pdf			 = 20,
};

Thanks! your answer fixes the anything else section but I keep this issue open because the main issue isnt solved

I'm sorry, but what is the main issue? I did not understand

[ebanDev]

Well I want to be able to filter by object type directly because for example two types can have the layout Note
