You need to create plugin in di.xml inside etc/webapi_rest folder to call plugin only in REST API.

Example :

app/code/Vendor/Module/etc/webapi_rest/di.xml :

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!--
/**
 * Copyright © Magento, Inc. All rights reserved.
 * See COPYING.txt for license details.
 */
-->

<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:ObjectManager/etc/config.xsd">
<type name="Magento\Catalog\Api\ProductCustomOptionRepositoryInterface">
        <plugin name="updateProductCustomOptionsAttributes" type="Magento\Catalog\Plugin\Model\Product\Option\UpdateProductCustomOptionsAttributes"/>
    </type>
</config>

Add your plugin based on your requirement in di.xml.

Magento – Magento 2.1.1 Rest API Update price only

You can use the following rest PUT call:

/rest/V1/products/{SKU}

Passing the following json:

{
"product": {
  "price": 9.63,
  "extension_attributes": {
    "stock_item": {
      "qty": 63
    }
  }
 }
}

So you can update price and stock quantity with one single call. You can remove the extension_attributes value, if you only want to update the price.

EDIT

You will need a quotation mark for your price, like this below. I don't quite understand why because the price should be a double variable in the database.

{ 
    "product":{ 
        "price":"9.63",
        "extension_attributes":{ 
            "stock_item":{ 
                "qty":63
            }
        }
    }
}

Magento 2 REST API – Can the API Return Plain Text?

In your request to the API, you can specify your requested response format using the HTTP header:

Accept: application/xml

Unfortunately the only 2 MIME types Magento supports currently are application/xml and application/json.

The following 2 classes provide the renderer for these formats:

Magento\Framework\Webapi\Rest\Response\Renderer\Json
Magento\Framework\Webapi\Rest\Response\Renderer\Xml

You can see that both of these classes implement the interface: Magento\Framework\Webapi\Rest\Response\RendererInterface.

You could look into creating your own plain text renderer class and using that to output your response.
