Recommended method to get Git commit information into Artifactory

What would the recommended route to take to get Git commit info into Artifactory?

Some background:
We are posting all of our builds in Artifactory, and we are planning to use Artifactory triggers in Jenkins (by other teams) once builds are available.  Along with these triggers, we'd like to have all of the commit info that goes into each build.
We are NOT using the Artifactory plugin in TeamCity to do the posting but using our own scripts.  Is using the RestAPI our only option here, or is there another suggested way?
