        Retrieves the transcript for a single video. This is just a shortcut for
        calling:
        `YouTubeTranscriptApi().list(video_id).find_transcript(languages).fetch(preserve_formatting=preserve_formatting)`

        :param video_id: the ID of the video you want to retrieve the transcript for.
            Make sure that this is the actual ID, NOT the full URL to the video!
        :param languages: A list of language codes in a descending priority. For
            example, if this is set to ["de", "en"] it will first try to fetch the
            german transcript (de) and then fetch the english transcript (en) if
            it fails to do so. This defaults to ["en"].
        :param preserve_formatting: whether to keep select HTML text formatting
