Fix: Added support for show_api in mount_gradio_app

Description

The mount_gradio_app function did not previously support the show_api parameter, which caused the "Use via API" button to always appear, regardless of the user's intent.

Changes

• Added logic to handle show_api in mount_gradio_app.
• Ensured show_api is correctly passed to the Blocks instance.

Closes: #9980

Hi @freddyaboulton , could you please approve the workflows for this PR? Thanks!

[abidlabs]

Thanks for the contribution @HongweiRuan! The app_kwargs parameter is meant for "additional keyword arguments to pass to the underlying FastAPI app" -- since show_api is actually an attribute of Blocks, not FastAPI, I would actually add it as a separate argument in mount_gradio_app

Hi @abidlabs,

Thank you for the clarification! This is my very first time trying to make contributions. The original issue described the problem as follows:

"I create a Gradio app using mount_gradio_app so I don't need to use the launch function call. I want to hide the "Use via API" on the footer. I try to add app_kwargs={"show_api": False} when calling the mount_gradio_app() and the "Use via API" message is still shown on the footer."

Based on this description, I initially thought the user wanted to achieve this functionality via app_kwargs={"show_api": False}, which led to my initial implementation.

I now understand from your explanation that show_api is an attribute of Blocks, not FastAPI. I’m happy to continue fixing this issue following your suggestion to add show_api as a separate argument in mount_gradio_app.

[abidlabs]
