I'm not particularly familiar with Faraday's stubbing API, but from a casual inspection of that and the source of Balanced::Client, it looks like I'd need to be able to provide my own value for Balanced::Client.conn.

This is a step towards supporting for a stubbed connection mode by a configuration option in library, whereas flipping on that toggle, I could just use Balanced::Client.conn as a handle for stubbing whatever requests I expect to occur during my test.

It would also be super useful to have example response bodies for the various Balanced API calls and/or some builtin stub responses to use as templates for my own stubs.

Does this seem like a reasonable plan, or am I heading in the wrong direction? How do I go about doing this?

I recommend taking a look at how the unit tests for the balanced-ruby library are written. They use VCR to record and replay network calls.

While not pertinent to your exact question, you can also create one-off instances of objects by using the construct_from_response method on any object that inherits from the Resource class in resource.rb. This allows you to create a single instance of an object like so:

1.9.3p194 :034 > payload = {:name"=>"Bob", :uri=>"/v1/marketplaces/M123/accounts/fake"} 
1.9.3p194 :035 > account = Balanced::Account.construct_from_response payload
1.9.3p194 :036 > account.name
 => "Bob"

Note that the uri param in the payload is required or else the library will go and try to look the object up from the server.

Can do something like this. Use the gem webmock https://github.com/bblimke/webmock

And stub requests yourself:

stub_request(:get,"https://<your secret key>:@api.balancedpayments.com/v1/customers   email=#<test email>")
.with(:headers => {'Accept'=>'*/*',
                   'Accept-Encoding'=>'gzip;q=1.0,deflate;q=0.6,identity;q=0.3',
                   'User-Agent'=>'balanced-ruby/0.7.4'})
.to_return(:status => 200, :body => "", :headers => {})
