Rest API for layout switching

[00conman]

I would like to see if anyone can help me make an API for my mirror. They purpose would be to trigger different layouts of my mirror based off of a terminal or an SSH. I was told it was doable (https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/33/facial-recognition-customize-your-mirror-for-every-user/14) but honestly I have no idea how to do it. If anyone can help me I would love the help.
