In order to make it work with RestSharp, we'll need to do a little bit of extra work here:

// Old:
// var client = new RestClient("http://AJWKBLWT47VR26QWPNFCPJLXC6217F6F@presta.craftingcrow.com/api/categories"); 

// New:
var client = new RestClient("http://presta.craftingcrow.com/api/categories")
{
    Authenticator = new HttpBasicAuthenticator("AJWKBLWT47VR26QWPNFCPJLXC6217F6F", "")
};
