You just need to create a javascript button on the account object then when you create your REST call you can pass in the fields from the record by just typing (for example for account id):

{!Account.Id}

So if your REST API url was http://www.domain/API/updateAcc/<accountId>

then it would be:
http://www.domain/API/updateAcc/{!Account.Id}

You could either then have the external system call Salesforce via the API to collect the rest of the information it needs or you could pass everything in the REST call.

Thanks Radnip.....

you mean that button will hold the accountID right?


And here is the Code is it right...

@RestResource(urlMapping='http://www.domain/API/updateAcc/{!Account.Id/*')
global with sharing class MyRestResource {

    @HttpDelete
    global static void doDelete() {
        RestRequest req = RestContext.request;
        RestResponse res = RestContext.response;
        String accountId = req.requestURI.substring(req.requestURI.lastIndexOf('/')+1);
        Account account = [SELECT Id FROM Account WHERE Id = :accountId];
        delete account;
    }
  
    @HttpGet
    global static Account doGet() {
        RestRequest req = RestContext.request;
        RestResponse res = RestContext.response;
        String accountId = req.requestURI.substring(req.requestURI.lastIndexOf('/')+1);
        Account result = [SELECT Id, Name, Phone, Website FROM Account WHERE Id = :accountId];
        return result;
    }
  
  @HttpPost
    global static String doPost(String name,
        String phone, String website) {
        Account account = new Account();
        account.Name = name;
        account.phone = phone;
        account.website = website;
        insert account;
        return account.Id;
    }
}
