I found another script I had written once, but forgotten about. Think it does what you want:

clr.AddReference('RevitAPI')
from Autodesk.Revit.DB import *

clr.AddReference('RevitNodes')

clr.ImportExtensions(Revit.GeometryConversion)
clr.ImportExtensions(Revit.Elements)

clr.AddReference('RevitServices')
import RevitServices
from RevitServices.Persistence import DocumentManager

doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument
view = doc.ActiveView

#Convert input from dynamo to revit
rebar = UnwrapElement(IN[0])

#Set options
mpo = MultiplanarOption.IncludeAllMultiplanarCurves

#Get info from rebar
numOfBars = rebar.NumberOfBarPositions
quantity = rebar.Quantity
layoutRule = rebar.LayoutRule

if numOfBars > 1:
	#Find visible bars and get their centerline curves transformed to correct position
	centerlineCurves = []
	for i in range(numOfBars):
		if not rebar.IsBarHidden(view,i):
			posTransform = rebar.GetBarPositionTransform(i)
			revitCurve = [c.CreateTransformed(posTransform) for c in rebar.GetCenterlineCurves(0,0,0,mpo,0)]
			centerlineCurves.append([r.ToProtoType(True) for r in revitCurve])
	
else:
	centerlineCurves = [r.ToProtoType(True) for r in rebar.GetCenterlineCurves(0,0,0,mpo,0)]
OUT = centerlineCurves
```
