Can Stream API return event with an updated filing document?

API Question
1

Hello,

We’re trying to understand if we need to handle rewrites of filings documents that were already fetched.

So, the question is - can we get events with the document updates from Streaming API? Specifically, when the document was already attached to a filing transaction, and then rewritten. If yes, are there any traces except fields_changed? To avoid downloading and comparing hashes.

Double checking about fields_changed, bc it seem to be not very reliable, according to forum discussions and my usage.
Example - when transaction first appear on stream with a link in document_metadata, there might be sequential event for this transaction with fields_changed: [“document_metadata”], but the file was available before that.

Reposting the answer from support:

Yes, the Stream API can return an event with an updated document. In theory, when a new image is added to a filing history record, a new stream event will be published with “event”: { “fields_changed”: [“links.document_metadata”] }. Please note that the document metadata link itself will remain the same as the originally published value.
