A Little curl/script help, please

I need to call curl to periodically retrieve a page via http and if a certain word or phrase is present, execute a shell script to start a carbon application.

I'm guessing that the curl part is probably a one or two-liner for someone knowledgeable. Would anyone care to offer a generic script of the type:

curl <URL> | [processing for the <magic words> ]
line to execute if magic words are present

or something similar?

This would need to run from cron without anyone logged in.
