The command eth_getCode
returns the bytecode associated with the address in the Ethereum world state, that will be the deployed bytecode (or runtime bytecode).
The init bytecode could be obtained from the deployment transaction's data field, unless it was created by a contract in which case you have to trace the transaction to obtain the details.
