Firstly, after_create should not call the service directly - it should call a
method in a GoogleApi module that calls the service. (See the thread "no sql in
the controller guideline".)

Use Mocha to introduce a mock.
Call the real service one time and p the result out. Copy the result into the
test code and configure a test to mock either the Net::HTTP or the GoogleApi.
The mock will return your recorded result.
